Microsoft delays Fable (again) to avoid GTA VI - The Verge

Microsoft delays Fable from autumn 2026 to February 2027 to avoid launching near Grand Theft Auto VI. The game will show a new look at its Xbox Games Showcase on June 7, 2026. This shift allows Microsoft to better align launches with player expectations and ensures Fable has a dedicated release moment. The delay is part of a broader strategy to manage launch timing amid competition.
