The Fallout Pip-Boy Edition Xbox Wireless Controller is now in stock at Amazon, priced at $100. This limited-edition item first launched exclusively through the Xbox Store in mid-December and quickly sold out, making its current availability a notable opportunity for fans. With the recent premiere of Fallout’s second season on Amazon Prime Video, interest in themed merchandise is high. While you can still design a custom controller through Xbox Design Lab, that service starts at a slightly higher price point of $105, making this pre-designed special edition a compelling value.
Inspired directly by Vault-Tec’s iconic wearable computer, the controller boasts a distinctive aesthetic. It features a black top case designed to mimic the outer shell of a Pip-Boy, complete with a vibrant green Vault Boy icon at its center. The directional pad glows with a radioactive hue, and other subtle design touches replicate the Valued-Added Targeting System familiar to players. Underneath the unique graphics, it functions as a standard Xbox wireless controller, utilizing the proven design introduced several years ago. This includes textured triggers, tactile face buttons, and a precise, clicky D-pad. It operates on either AA batteries or a separate rechargeable battery pack and comes equipped with a 3.5mm audio jack for wired headphones. Its ergonomic shape remains comfortable for extended gaming sessions. A significant advantage of this controller is its broad compatibility; it works seamlessly with PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and mobile devices via Bluetooth.
It’s worth noting that Xbox had also offered a Fallout Pip-Boy design theme for the high-end Elite Series 2 controller via Design Lab, but that customization option was discontinued in early January.
For collectors seeking more items from the wasteland, an upcoming release might be of interest. The Fallout New Vegas: 15th Anniversary Bundle is scheduled for June 30. This PC collector’s edition, priced at $155, will include an 8-inch PVC statue of the robot Victor alongside various other physical collectibles.
Additionally, for those looking to own the television adaptation, the Limited Edition Steelbook 4K Blu-ray for Fallout Season 1 is currently available at Amazon for $40, down from its original $45 price. If the special packaging isn’t a priority, the standard 4K Blu-ray edition is also discounted, now costing $35 instead of $40.
