Video: "Fable - Official Quest Gameplay | XBOX 25th Anniversary" (4 min 10 s), official Fable YouTube channel, published November 12, 2026 (8:15 PM in Paris): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tnsp2xlU5ts It is a quest gameplay walkthrough, not a full review of the game.
Xbox and Playground Games published four minutes of new Fable quest gameplay on November 12, 2026, as part of the Xbox 25th anniversary celebrations (sources read November 13, 2026, Paris time). The game is due on February 23, 2027. This article sums up what the footage shows and the official practical details: platforms, editions, Steam price, Advance Access and PC requirements.
1. What the new footage shows
Official description (Xbox Game Studios): the Hero of Briar Hill enters the depths of Deepwood with Arden, a local Hero, to investigate why strange magical happenings are troubling the people of Oakshire.
In Deepwood, they cross a threshold where the natural magic appears corrupted by an outside force, and they find hints as to who or what could be responsible.
The video runs 4 min 10 s on the official Fable YouTube channel. PC Gamer, which watched it, says it shows cinematics, conversation, the interface and melee, ranged and magic combat.
It is one quest from one area. It does not show the whole game, the open world or the systems around reputation.
2. Release date and platforms
Release date: February 23, 2027.
Platforms (as reported by Gematsu from Xbox Game Studios): PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC through Steam and the Microsoft Store.
Game Pass: Gematsu also reports that the game will be available via Game Pass. We could not read the Xbox Wire post text (only its title and date), so we do not state which Game Pass tiers are included.
Steam shows the game as "Coming 23 Feb, 2027" and lists a pre-purchase.
3. Editions, price and Advance Access on Steam
Fable Standard Edition: 69.99 EUR on the French Steam store (69.99 USD on the US store), read on November 13, 2026.
Fable Premium Edition: 99.99 EUR. Steam says that buying this edition lets you play starting 5 days ahead of full release: Advance Access starts on February 18, 2027. Steam does not give a start time in the page we read.
Pre-order Content Pack: the Chicken Suit and three in-game Gifts (a Wild Flower Bouquet, a Toy Chicken and a Scones & Jam Picnic Hamper). Steam says the offer ends at the official launch date, with a limit of 1 per person/account.
What else the Premium Edition contains is not detailed in the Steam text we read, so we do not list it.
4. PC requirements and graphics options
Minimum: Windows 10 22H2, 64-bit; AMD Ryzen 5 2600 or Intel i7-6850K; 12 GB RAM; AMD Radeon RX 6600, NVIDIA RTX 5050, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 or Intel A580; DirectX 12; 135 GB of storage, SSD required.
Recommended: Windows 10 22H2, 64-bit; AMD Ryzen 5 5600 or Intel i5-11600KF; 16 GB RAM; AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT or NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti; DirectX 12; 135 GB, SSD required.
Steam lists high uncapped framerates, 4K and HDR10, with optional support for NVIDIA DLSS 4.5, AMD FSR 3+4 and Intel XeSS 2.1 on compatible hardware.
The listed requirements do not state a resolution or framerate target for the minimum or recommended tiers.
5. Languages
Steam lists 10 languages: English, Simplified Chinese, French, Italian, German, Spanish (Spain), Japanese, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil) and Spanish (Latin America).
Full audio is marked for English, German, Portuguese (Brazil) and Spanish (Latin America). French is listed with interface and subtitles, without full audio, on the Steam page we read.
6. One reaction, clearly labelled
PC Gamer's Andy Chalk wrote on November 12 that the trailer "doesn't look much like Fable" to him and that it felt "kind of flat", while noting that a four-minute clip cannot tell the whole story and that the YouTube comments were rather positive. This is one editor's opinion, not a verdict on the game.
7. What we do not know yet
Console prices and editions outside Steam, console performance modes, the full Premium Edition contents, the exact Advance Access start time, which Game Pass tiers include the game, and any benchmark on PC. We will update this page if Xbox or Playground Games publish them.
