Fable, the Playground Games reboot set in Albion, is open for pre-order ahead of its February 23, 2027 launch on Xbox and PS5. There are three editions to choose from, and every one of them includes the same pre-order content pack. The differences come down to price, early access, and how much physical and digital extra you want.
Quick answer: Pick the $69.99 Standard Edition for the base game, the $99.99 Premium Edition if you want to play five days early plus the Order of the Hero expansion, or the $199.99 Collector’s Edition if you also want the Jack of Blades statuette and physical merchandise. Pre-ordering any of them grants the Chicken Suit and a set of in-game Gifts.
Fable editions and pricing
The Standard Edition costs $69.99 and includes only the base game. If you start with Standard and change your mind later, you can move up to Premium by buying the Upgrade Bundle separately for $39.99. The Premium Edition is $99.99 and is sold as a digital-only purchase. The Collector’s Edition runs $199.99 in the US and £189.99 at the Xbox store, and it is expected to ship in 2027.
| Edition | Price | Key contents |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | $69.99 | Base game and pre-order content pack |
| Premium | $99.99 | Base game, 5-day early access, Order of the Hero expansion, Premium Content Pack, Digital Artbook and Soundtrack |
| Upgrade Bundle | $39.99 | Moves a Standard purchase up to Premium contents |
| Collector’s | $199.99 / £189.99 | Everything in Premium plus physical merchandise |
Premium Edition early access and extras
The Premium Edition’s main draw is early access. You can begin playing up to five days before the public launch, which means February 18 instead of February 23. Alongside the head start, it bundles the Fable Premium Edition Content Pack, the Fable: Order of the Hero expansion, and the Fable Digital Artbook and Soundtrack.
Order of the Hero is a story-driven expansion that sends players after a dark, ancient cult hidden within Albion. It is included with the Premium Edition at no extra cost. Premium buyers also receive three each of the Queen’s Bouquets, Bags of Offal, and Decadent Gold Leaf Bread Gifts, which can be used to shift how Albion reacts to your Hero.
Collector’s Edition contents
The Collector’s Edition wraps everything in the Premium Edition together with a set of physical collectibles. It is built around a limited-edition Jack of Blades statuette, a callback to the series’ original villain.
- Limited-edition Jack of Blades statuette
- Hardcover art book (English only)
- Custom SteelBook case
- Guild Seal lapel pin
- All Premium Edition game contents
Fable pre-order bonus content pack
Every Fable pre-order, whether Standard, Premium, or Collector’s, includes the same Pre-order Content Pack. It centers on the Chicken Suit and a small collection of in-game Gifts you can hand out to build your reputation and shape how Albion sees your Hero.
- Chicken Suit
- Wild Flower Bouquet
- Toy Chicken
- Scones & Jam Picnic Hamper
Note: These Gift items are functionally tied to reputation. They let you raise standing with Albion’s residents quickly rather than acting as cosmetic-only filler.
If your priority is the lowest price, the Standard Edition covers it and still includes the pre-order pack. If you want to play first and own the launch expansion, Premium is the cleaner choice, and the $39.99 Upgrade Bundle keeps that door open if you start with Standard. The Collector’s Edition only makes sense if the Jack of Blades statuette and physical extras matter to you, since the playable contents match Premium.
