Here's everything you need to know about these custom Xbox controllers.

Fallout Pip-Boy Xbox controllers: Release date and price

The Fallout Pip-Boy Xbox controllers are essentially Xbox Wireless Controllers and Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 Controllers outfitted with metallic triggers and a metallic D-Pad.

They also feature a shell casing inspired by the health status screen you see when within the Pip-Boy, an iconic device from the Fallout franchise that players use to track their health, inventory, maps, quest objectives, and turn on the radio to drown the silence of the post-apocalyptic wasteland.

Aside from that, they function identically to the regular Xbox Wireless and Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 controllers, complete with the same high-quality controls, ergonomics, and build quality that earned them their top spots in our best Xbox controllers list.

In addition, the Fallout Pip-Boy Xbox controllers feature their regular counterparts' Xbox Wireless and Bluetooth connectivity so they can pair up with Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, iOS, Android, and Cloud device platforms.

Plus, they have dedicated share buttons so you can capture screenshots and record gameplay clips.
