Quick intro — why so many editions?
Fable is coming in a handful of editions, from the no-frills version for the budget adventurer to the full-on shelf-stuffing collector’s kit for completionists and people who really like miniatures. Below I break down what each edition includes, how much it costs, and where you can pre-order it — served with a side of sarcasm and a chicken outfit mention, because priorities.
Standard Edition — for the “I just want to play” crowd
Price: €69.99. This is the base game with the essentials: the core Fable experience plus a little pre-order perk. You get the full game and a few early in-game goodies — think starter cosmetics and a handful of gifts to get you rolling. Perfect if you want the story without the elbow room-crowd of collectors.
Premium Edition — for the mildly obsessive
Price: €99.99. If you like extra armor, soundtrack hums, and the smug satisfaction of early access, this one’s for you. It includes the base game plus cosmetic goodies (yep, the chicken outfit), a stack of in-game gifts, five days of early access, two fancy armor sets, a digital art book and soundtrack, and the post-launch expansion. It’s the version for players who want a bit more flavor and a small head start.
Collector’s Edition — shelf candy and bragging rights
Price: €176.95. This edition piles on the physical goodies in addition to everything the Premium Edition offers. Expect a collectible figurine, a hardcover art book (English only), a special steelbook case, and a custom pin showing off the Heroes’ Guild seal. If your friends judge you by what sits on your shelves, this is the one to flex.
Where to pre-order each edition
PC: Standard and Premium editions are available through Steam; the Collector’s Edition is sold through the official Fable website.
PlayStation: The Standard Edition can be found on the PlayStation Store and at several retailers (GAME, Xtralife, Mediamarkt, Amazon). The Premium Edition is available on the PlayStation Store, while the Collector’s Edition is available from the official Fable website.

Final thoughts (short and honest)
If you only care about playing, the Standard Edition covers it. Want digital extras and early access? Premium is the sweet spot. Want a physical shrine to your fandom? Collector’s Edition — just make sure you have a place to display the figurine that isn’t your desk full of takeout boxes.
