Fable PC System Requirements Announced
Playground Games has shared the official PC system requirements for Fable, which will be released in 2027. Given that Albion is expected to feature over 1,000 unique NPCs, enterable structures, businesses, and extensive life systems, there was much speculation about how demanding the game would be in terms of hardware. The released specifications show that relatively older hardware will suffice for 1080p and 30 FPS, but a very powerful computer will be needed to target 4K and 60 FPS.
Fable PC System Requirements
The lowest settings for Fable are set at 1080p and 30 FPS. At this level, Playground Games supports hardware that is several generations outdated, such as the Ryzen 5 2600 and RTX 2060. Requirements increase from the mid-range, reaching RTX 5070 levels for 1440p and 60 FPS, and up to RTX 5080 for 4K Ultra.
Low – 1080p / 30 FPS
- Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 / Intel Core i7-6850K
- Graphics Card: NVIDIA RTX 5050 / RTX 2060 / AMD RX 6600 / Intel Arc A580
- VRAM: 6 GB
- RAM: 12 GB
Medium – 1440p / 30 FPS or 1200p / 60 FPS
- Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 / Intel Core i5-11600KF
- Graphics Card: NVIDIA RTX 5060 / RTX 3060 Ti / AMD RX 9060 XT / RX 6700 XT
- VRAM: 8 GB
- RAM: 16 GB
High – 1440p / 60 FPS
- Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X / Intel Core i7-12700K
- Graphics Card: NVIDIA RTX 5070 / RTX 3080 Ti / AMD RX 9070 / RX 7900 XT
- VRAM: 12 GB
- RAM: 16 GB
Ultra – 4K / 60 FPS
- Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 7900X / Intel Core i9-13900K
- Graphics Card: NVIDIA RTX 5080 / RTX 4080
- VRAM: 16 GB
- RAM: 16 GB
Other Requirements
- Operating System: Windows 10 22H2
- Storage: SSD
- XMP and ReBAR usage recommended
- Approximately 135 GB of free storage space required
Especially considering older hardware such as RTX 2060 and Ryzen 5 2600 in the minimum requirements This shows that Fable can reach a wide PC audience. However, the hardware requirements increase significantly at 1440p 60 FPS. Considering the game’s Living Population system, which manages the routines of hundreds of NPCs simultaneously, the increase in processor requirements isn’t surprising.
At ultra settings, the picture changes completely. For 4K and 60 FPS, an RTX 5080 or RTX 4080 is required, while a Ryzen 9 7900X or Core i9-13900K processor is needed. Interestingly, while system memory remains at 16 GB, the graphics card memory requirement increases to 16 GB. It’s not yet clear whether the targets shared by Playground Games were achieved with DLSS or FSR enabled.
The PC version of Fable will support NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR technologies. Therefore, the final performance is likely to vary significantly depending on the upscaling method and graphics settings used. While the minimum requirements seem achievable and promising, we’ll need to wait for independent tests closer to the game’s release to truly assess performance, especially at 1440p and 4K resolutions.
