Journalist Jeff Grubb of Giant Bomb claims Microsoft has internally delayed Fable beyond its announced Autumn 2026 release window.
On his podcast this week, Grubb stated he has 'heard that Fable has been pushed internally.' Microsoft reportedly worries about Fable's proximity to GTA 6's scheduled launch on November 19, 2026.
Fable targets September through November 2026. Grubb notes a delay past GTA 6 could shift it to December, a quiet month for releases, prompting Microsoft to hold until 2027.
A 2026 release remains possible, per Grubb.
