It was all the way back in 2017 that Albion Online first arrived on PC, and the free-to-play MMORPG is still going strong here in 2026. Better yet, the team has just announced that it's finally making its Xbox console debut this year!

You can see this in the following roadmap for Spring 2026, with further details mentioning how the Xbox release will be a "massive step forward for the game" and it'll introduce a new UI navigation flow, cross-platform support, and the potential for further console expansions in the future.

Here's a look at that roadmap, along with the first official screenshot of the Xbox version:

Despite what you might think, Albion Online is not related to Fable in any fashion — the term "Albion" simply refers to Great Britain (typically in ancient times). In this game, you'll build up your character with new weapons, armour and various other resources, and then take them into battle in primarily PvP encounters. You can also build a house, fish, grow crops, etc. — it's quite an in-depth MMORPG, complete with a player-driven economy.

We'll circle back around when Albion Online gets an official release date for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, but in the meantime, you can rest assured that it's definitely on the way soon, and it'll be free-to-play when it arrives. If you really can't wait, Albion Online is already available on the Xbox PC app!

Albion Online is a fantasy sandbox MMORPG featuring a player-driven economy, classless combat system, and intense PvP battles. Explore a vast open world full of danger and opportunity. Grow your wealth, forge alliances, and leave your mark on the world of Albion.
