Short answer
Fable II (Xbox 360, 2008) runs natively on Windows through Fable 2 ReXGlue Recompiled, a static recompilation built on the ReXGlue SDK. Its README marks the game as beatable, with uncapped frame rate and keyboard and mouse. You need your own Game of the Year disc image. Latest release: 1.5.0, 11 October 2026.

What it is
Lionhead’s Fable II came out on the Xbox 360 in 2008 and never came to PC.
Fable 2 ReXGlue Recompiled is a “recompilation of Fable 2 (Xbox 360, title ID 4D5307F1) using the ReXGlue SDK”. The README states that the project began as a test of local, open-source AI, built with the help of the Qwen model, and that it got the game running quickly. It does not condone piracy and bans any mention or links to it.
A second project, Fable2Recomp, also uses ReXGlue, is based on Fable 2 GOTY TU1, and plans Windows and Linux builds with higher resolutions and frame rates up to 240 FPS.
