We've got another new Xbox controller variant today in the form of the "Fallout Pip-Boy Edition", and there are three different versions in all - available to purchase today on the Microsoft Store.
The standalone one features the same basic design as the other two, but with a bright green d-pad, black thumbsticks and triggers, and a bright green back case. Both the standard and Elite versions can then be customised via Xbox Design Lab if you're willing to spend the money, but be warned that even the regular version of the controller retails at $98.97, discounted down to $82.97 at launch.
Here's a quick comparison of all three:
Xbox says these new Fallout controllers are available for a limited time through the Microsoft Store and Xbox Design Lab, although a "timed exclusive" banner suggests the standalone version will hit other retailers eventually as well.
We'll leave you with more details on them down below, along with some images and product links:
The Xbox Wireless Controller – Fallout Pip-Boy is available for pre order, for a limited time, at Microsoft Store. For those looking to create their own unique design, both Xbox Wireless Controller and Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 are available now with Xbox Design Lab.
This Fallout-themed masterpiece pays homage to Vault Boy and his iconic S.P.E.C.I.A.L. traits, featuring a striking green metallic D-Pad and a custom Fallout topcase that radiates craftsmanship and heritage.

“We want a New Vegas remaster!”
“Best I can do is an overly expensive green controller variant.”
They're pretty smart looking.
I use Xbox controllers for my PC. Comfortable and robust they're unquestionably the best on the market. I also still have a few Xbox 360 controllers (two for the console itself and one for the PC), that have stood the test of time.
Played FO76 for about 5hrs yesterday. Game crashed to dashboard 8 times, inexplicably reset some option settings (stick sensitivity, Y-axis inversion etc) to default, the final boss of the daily op got stuck in a wall and became unkillable which forced a restart, and the game is still a choppy stuttery mess. Instead of hocking new merch maybe they could have used that money to pay Bethesda’s (rumored) tech support devs to fix some of the glaring issues with the actual game(s)?
@Balaam_ That would cut into the required 30% profit margin.
Not a fan. Doesn't feel like much thought has been put into it other than to shove part of the UI on the backplate.
@Balaam_
I admire your tenacity, I would have given up long before that.
I've just finished Dragon Age: Veilguard and that crashed to dashboard quite frequently towards the end of the game. Once it even crashed so badly that the whole console shut down!
@rhydderch I think you might need to get your console checked if the crashes are that bad. I've never had my console shut off from a crash before. I never had a single crash on Veilgaurd either and that was close to launch.
Controller looks ok, but that MGS delta one that Xbox is doing as a social media competition is a thing of beauty. I want that one on sale not this one.
@darylb24
It only happened that one time with DA:Veilguard. It did worry me, though, for a second I thought it was bricked.
@Vordus Seems like they played it safe. The Pip-Boy "boy" image is pretty recognizable. Maybe when it sits in the case, it looks like the screen of the Pip-Boy. Can't buying these, anyway — an Elite Series 3 has to be 1-2 years out.
Thank you, @FraserG, though I will say your site is costing me a fortune! I've just paid £171.38 for an Elite version of the Pip Boy controller via the Design Lab. I also got the case and all the extra gubbins, and they were offering free engraving too, so it even has my name of it.
I did click via the link above, so hopefully your site will receive something in return, but I am grateful for the heads up as the offer is only valid for 3 days...
