Fable is set to launch simultaneously across PC, Xbox Series, and PlayStation 5 on January 22, 2026, aiming for maximum visibility and widest player access.
Forza Horizon 6 will also be released on PS5 but not at the same time as other platforms due to development challenges. The PS5 version is expected to release later.
More details about both games, including gameplay, will be revealed at the Xbox Developer Direct event in January 2026.
Microsofts upcoming January Xbox Showcase will provide a closer look at Fables gameplay. Forza Horizon 6 might be released as early as the second quarter of 2026, while Fable is anticipated to follow toward the end of the year.

Fable Launching Simultaneously Across Platforms on January 22, 2026 – Forza Horizon 6 to Follow Later

Playground Games will unveil more details about Fable and Forza Horizon 6 at the Xbox Developer Direct on January 22, 2026. Both games are confirmed for PC, Xbox Series, and PlayStation 5, but their release strategies will differ. According to Andy Robinson, editor-in-chief of VGC, Fable is being prepared for a simultaneous launch across all platforms, including the PlayStation 5, to maximize the game’s prominence and ensure the widest possible player access on day one. Microsoft’s upcoming January Xbox Showcase will offer a closer look at Fable’s gameplay. Forza Horizon 6 will also be released on PS5, but not at launch. Sources close to the studio suggest that the PS5 version encountered development challenges, preventing a simultaneous release, and Playground Games chose not to delay the game’s launch on other platforms. The PS5 version will therefore arrive later. Forza Horizon 6 is expected to be released first, possibly in the second quarter of 2026, with Fable following toward the end of the year. Official confirmations are anticipated at the January event.
