Jez Corden argues that Fable demonstrates Xbox Game Studios’ shift toward high-budget, story‑driven AAA quality, potentially setting a new standard after past misses. With Playground Games at the helm and a broader, multi‑platform approach aided by Game Pass, Microsoft could pursue bigger, riskier projects and push Xbox closer to a PC‑centric, multiplatform future rather than relying solely on exclusives.
