Xbox Developers Direct on January 22, 2026
Fans and gamers are pretty excited for the upcoming Xbox Developers Direct and now VGC’s Andy Robinson has revealed some great details on his recent podcast. It appears that the Fable PS5 version will release on the same day as Xbox and PC.
The PS5 port has been worked on for a very long time. However, the same could not be said about Forza Horizon 6. Let’s check out more details in this article.
Fable PS5: Long-Term port targets day-one launch
Robinson’s sources confirm that Playground Games have been working on the PS5 port for a very long time. This isn’t a last-minute job.
“It’s been a known target internally for a while,”
The lighthearted RPG revival, which has been touted since 2020, matches Microsoft’s post-Activision strategy of expanding symbols like Fable beyond Xbox to generate cash.
We are also going to get the first extensive gameplay and story trailer for Fable at the upcoming Xbox Developers Direct on January 22, 2026. At that time, we might also get the release timeline for the game.
Forza Horizon 6 PS5 delay
This might be the biggest disappointment for PlayStation fans. According to Robinson, the Forza Horizon 6 PS5 port, “Just wasn’t ready.”
This game might not launch on the same day as the Xbox and PC. The full story behind this is yet to be uncovered, but it is more likely to be a development hurdle, rather than a deliberate delay.
Forza Horizon 5 PS5 port has already sold 5 million copies since its release and you can expect the fans to be ready to explore the Japan open world experience in Forza Horizon 6.
Conclusion
Xbox exclusive era seems to have ended, as more games and iconic franchises are all heading to PlayStation now. Microsoft now acts like a publisher and will look for profits and revenue, rather than exclusivity.
More details about Fable PS5 and Forza Horizon 6 will be revealed at the upcoming Xbox Developers Direct on January 22, 2026. So make sure not to miss the live stream of the event.
