Playground Games has finally revealed the PC system requirements for Fable, giving players a better idea of the hardware needed to run the upcoming Action RPG at different resolutions and graphics settings. The requirements range from 1080p at 30 FPS on Low settings to 4K at 60 FPS on the Ultra preset, with a major difference in hardware between entry-level and high-end configurations.
For players targeting 1080p at 30 FPS with Low settings, the requirements are relatively modest by current standards. Playground Games lists an AMD Ryzen 5 2600 or Intel Core i7-6850K, along with 12GB of system memory. Graphics options include the GeForce RTX 2060, RTX 5050, Radeon RX 6600, or Intel Arc A580. An SSD is also required.
The requirements increase for the Medium preset. This configuration targets 1440p at 30 FPS, while Playground Games also lists 1200p at 60 FPS as a performance target. A Ryzen 5 5600 or Core i5-11600KF is required, paired with 16GB of RAM. GPU options include the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, RTX 5060, Radeon RX 6700 XT, or RX 9060 XT.
Players looking for 1440p at 60 FPS with High settings will need a more powerful system. The recommended processors move up to the Ryzen 7 7700X or Core i7-12700K, while graphics cards include the RTX 5070, RTX 3080 Ti, Radeon RX 9070, and RX 7900 XT. The memory requirement remains at 16GB, although the graphics cards in this tier carry considerably more VRAM than the entry-level options.
The biggest jump comes with the Ultra configuration. Playground Games is targeting 4K at 60 FPS and lists the Ryzen 9 7900X or Core i9-13900K alongside an RTX 4080 or RTX 5080. The 4K configuration also calls for 16GB of system RAM and a GPU with 16GB of VRAM. No AMD graphics card is listed for the 4K Ultra target in the published requirements.
The complete PC requirements can be summarized as follows:
| Target Resolution / FPS | Graphics Preset | CPU | RAM | GPU |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p / 30 FPS | Low | AMD Ryzen 5 2600 / Intel Core i7-6850K | 12GB | RTX 2060 / RTX 5050 / RX 6600 / Arc A580 |
| 1440p / 30 FPS | Medium | AMD Ryzen 5 5600 / Intel Core i5-11600KF | 16GB | RTX 3060 Ti / RTX 5060 / RX 6700 XT / RX 9060 XT |
| 1440p / 60 FPS | High | AMD Ryzen 7 7700X / Intel Core i7-12700K | 16GB | RTX 5070 / RTX 3080 Ti / RX 9070 / RX 7900 XT |
| 4K / 60 FPS | Ultra | AMD Ryzen 9 7900X / Intel Core i9-13900K | 16GB | RTX 4080 / RTX 5080 |
| Storage | — | — | — | SSD, 135GB |
| Operating System | — | — | — | Windows 10 Version 22H2 |
Playground Games also recommends features such as Resizable BAR and memory profiles such as Intel XMP or AMD EXPO for better system performance. The published requirements do not make it clear whether the listed performance targets depend on DLSS, FSR, XeSS, or other upscaling technologies, so the final performance picture will become clearer as we get closer to release.
The hardware requirements suggest that Fable should be reasonably accessible at 1080p, with an RTX 2060-class graphics card still listed for the Low preset. However, the jump to 1440p at 60 FPS is significant, while 4K at 60 FPS requires a much more expensive high-end GPU such as the RTX 4080 or RTX 5080.
Fable is being developed by Playground Games and is set in the fantasy world of Albion. The reboot is planned for PC (Steam), Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5, with its current release date set for February 23, 2027.
