The release calendar for this year could undergo a significant adjustment. Fable, one of Xbox’s biggest exclusives, may change its release date if it coincides with another highly anticipated title.

According to Jeff Grubb, the game has been internally delayed, although it is still scheduled for release in 2026 for the time being.

Fable might move to avoid clashing with GTA 6

According to this rumor, Fable currently aims for a fall 2026 release window, but there’s a possibility it could be delayed if its release date gets too close to Grand Theft Auto VI.

The logic behind this potential move is clear: avoiding a clash with a high-impact release that could overshadow its launch. GTA 6 is expected to be one of the biggest events in the industry, and competing directly with it wouldn’t be the most advisable strategy.

For now, there’s no official confirmation from Microsoft or the development team, so it’s best to take this information with caution.

However, this type of adjustment is common in the industry, especially when big-name titles are involved. If the change ultimately happens, Fable might end up being pushed to 2027 to ensure a release with more margin and visibility.

For now, we’ll have to wait and see if Xbox confirms or denies this move, but the end-of-2026 calendar is starting to shape up as one of the most competitive in recent years.
