Fable III Downloadable Content (a.k.a. Fable III DLC) is extra content released by Lionhead Studios for Fable III through Xbox Live, and previously, Games for Windows Live. The content is available for purchase on Xbox Live Marketplace, including the exclusive bonuses that were originally available only with download codes acquired with special purchases.[1] The PC version of the game includes all LCE content, but DLC on PC is no longer available. In-game, the DLC content can be purchased from the Sanctuary Shop, in the Live Room of the Sanctuary.
Delivery[]
Fable III's Downloadable Content is stored in "packs"; purchasing any one of the DLC titles of a certain pack will download the whole pack. Any future purchases of DLC from the same pack will "unlock" the content for use. In this way, people who have downloaded the free content from any pack will be able to access other content from the pack if they join a co-op game with someone who has paid to unlock the specific other content. For example, downloading the Free Weapons DLC also downloads the pack which includes the Understone quest set, the red setter dog potion and the Industrial Knight Outfit. Therefore, anyone who downloads the Free Weapons will be able to play Understone if they join a co-op game with someone who has paid the 400MSP to unlock it.
Online Compatibility[]
Full compatibility for online co-op should be attainable by downloading the three free DLCs Free Weapons, Free Yule Hat, and Free Soldier Outfit.
Closure of GFW Marketplace[]
Following the retirement of the Microsoft Points currency, Games for Windows Marketplace was closed on August 22, 2013. It is no longer possible to purchase or download DLC for PC copies of Fable III through Games for Windows Live or Steam. Existing codes that had not yet been redeemed were still valid, and could have been redeemed in-game from the Sanctuary Shop until September 16, 2014.
- For more information on Fable III Steam/GFWL Availability, please see this thread.
As a result of the transition from Microsoft Games for Windows Marketplace to Xbox for Windows, which no longer has backwards compatibility for Games for Windows Live, any games created online are no longer accessible and players can no longer download, or access, any Downloadable Content. No official announcement was made by Lionhead Studios, and following their closure in March 2016, this issue is unlikely to be addressed by Microsoft.

Notes[]
- The following DLC were released for Fable III on the Xbox Live Marketplace on October 26th 2010: Free Weapons, Fable III Male Highlander Outfit, Fable III Female Highlander Outfit, Highlander Tattoo Set, Fable III Red Setter Dog Potion, Fable III Dye Pack, Fable III Industrial Knight Outfit, and Fable III Dog Outfit. Most of these were removed shortly after, and re-released in the following weeks.
- It was shown that almost all early DLC planned for release was already completed, and most of it was prior to the release of the game. This caused some controversy and disdain among fans due to the fact that they would be paying extra for content that could have been in the initial release version. This can be seen with the dye pack in particular, as the dyes included will fill up the remaining spaces in the dye cabinet.
