With the highly anticipated second season of Prime Video’s Fallout series on the horizon, Microsoft is fueling the hype with a special-edition Xbox controller. This new Fallout Pip-Boy Xbox controller is now available for preorder at $83, a discount from its planned $99 retail price. For those who want a truly unique piece, the controller is also customizable through Xbox Design Labs, allowing for personalized button styles, metallic triggers, rubberized grips, and custom engravings.
Inspired by Vault-Tec’s iconic wearable computer, the controller features a black top case designed to look like the outer shell of a Pip-Boy. A bright green Vault Boy icon sits proudly in the center, while the D-pad glows with a radioactive hue. Several other design elements are pulled directly from the Valued-Added Targeting System found in the games. Underneath the themed exterior, it functions as a standard Xbox Wireless Controller, maintaining the familiar and comfortable ergonomic design introduced several years ago. It includes textured triggers, tactile face buttons, and a clicky D-pad. The controller operates on AA batteries or an optional rechargeable pack, includes a 3.5mm audio jack, and offers versatile connectivity for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and mobile devices via Bluetooth.
For players seeking a higher-end option, there is also an Xbox Elite Series 2 controller with a Fallout finish. Priced at $164.58, this premium model comes with all the Elite Series 2 hallmarks, including adjustable-tension thumbsticks, shorter hair-trigger locks, rubberized grips, and a suite of interchangeable components.
The Fallout merchandise celebration extends beyond controllers. A brand-new bundle marks the 15th anniversary of Fallout: New Vegas, offering a physical re-release of the classic RPG alongside collectible memorabilia for $155. Fans of the television series can own the first season in a limited-edition 4K steelbook for $40, or a standard 4K Blu-ray for $30. A wide array of other collectibles, from action figures and construction sets to novelty items, are also available for dedicated vault dwellers.
