Fable Preorders Are Live for Xbox and PS5: Here's What Comes in Each Edition

Wait 5 sec.

Xbox's Fable reboot now has a confirmed 2027 release date of February 23, 2027, pushing it well clear of the GTA 6 black hole. A fresh trailer was shown off at the recent Xbox Showcase, revealing British icon and Hollywood star Hayley Atwell as its villain. The trailer then concluded with a tease of Fable's original villain, Jack of Blades.Fable is also now up for preorder at most major retailers in the US, so here's a quick guide on what's up for grabs and what comes in each of its three different editions.Fable - Standard EditionXboxSee at WalmartSee at Best BuySee at GameStopSee at AmazonSee at Xbox Store (Digital)PS5See at WalmartSee at Best BuySee at GameStopSee at AmazonSee at PS Store (Digital)PCSee at SteamSee at Xbox StoreFable's standard edition includes the base game on disc, alongside a preorder content bonus pack.This features the "questionably heroic Chicken Suit" and a collection of "charming" in-game Gifts. That incluides a "Wild Flower Bouquet", a "Toy Chicken", and a "Scones & Jam Picnic Hamper". The Amazon product description notes that these can be used "to build your reputation and shape how Albion sees your Hero".All preorders for Fable will include this content pack, so anyone purchasing the standard, premium, or Collector's Edition. Fable - Premium EditionFable's Premium Edition is available as a digital only purchase for $99.99 on Xbox, PS5, and PC, or as a seperate upgrade pack for $39.99.The Premium Edition includes the full game with Early Access, letting you play up to 5 days before launch (launch is Feb. 23, so you can play the game from Feb. 18). Even more notably, it's also confirmed that Fable will be getting post launch content already, with the Fable: Order of the Hero DLC. This is described as a "story‑driven expansion" that draws players into "the secrets of a dark, ancient cult" that hides deep within Albion. This expansion is also included at no extra cost with the Premium Edition.You’ll also receive x3 each of the following in‑game Gifts: "Queen’s Bouquets", "Bags of Offal", and "Decadent Gold Leaf Bread" - which, similar to the other preorder bonuses, can also be used to build or alter your Albion reputation, or as the Fable site describes it "provoke admiration, disgust, or something romantically complicated".But, there's more, as players will also get the Premium Content Pack, that, according to the Fable website, features two "distinctive" cosmetic armour sets: the "refined Splendid Armour" and the "unapologetically rugged Bastard Armour", with the matching footwear, legs, and torso pieces.Fable - Collector's EditionFable's Collector’s Edition is available for Xbox, PlayStation 5 and PC, and costs $199.99.It bundles the game with a Steelbook, a collectible Jack of Blades statue and other exclusive items, including the Premium and Preorder content packs as discussed above.The edition is currently available to preorder exclusively from the Xbox Gear Store, with no additional retail partners confirmed so far. Note: at the time of publication, this is out of stock.Physical CollectiblesJack of Blades StatuetteHardcover Art BookCollectible SteelBook caseCustom Heroes Guild Seal PinEarly Access – Play up to 5 days before launchFull game (Xbox and PlayStation customers will receive a physical disc, Steam customers will receive a digital code)Fable Premium Edition Content PackFable: Order of the Hero expansion (coming post-launch)Fable Digital Art Book & SoundtrackIs Fable Still Coming to PS5 in 2027?Yes, Fable is also launching on PS5 next year.
