Xbox has released new Fallout-themed controllers that are now available to purchase through the Xbox Design Lab. As the Fallout show's premiere date approaches, hype surrounding the popular franchise has started to build.
Amazon's Fallout show debuts on April 12 and features eight episodes. A previous trailer revealed that the show follows a vault dweller who ventures into the post-apocalyptic wasteland of Los Angeles two centuries after Fallout's Great War. Todd Howard spoke glowingly of the Fallout show, saying that it honors the franchise's legacy by getting it "right." Fortunately for Fallout fans, there's a new product on the block to help tide them over until the show's release.
Fallout Fans Think They Spotted A Gruesome Detail In New Character Poster
The Fallout TV show character poster for Ella Purnell's Lucy from Prime Video might have a gruesome detail that fans may have missed.
The new Xbox controller starts at $85 and incorporates a design based around Fallout's iconic Vault Boy mascot. It features a white base color that's etched with dozens of Fallout's perk icons, which depict Vault Boy in various outfits and activities. The new design also makes creative use of the controller's Xbox button by implementing a blue-and-yellow Vault Tec decal around it, which matches with the Vault Boy's logo at the bottom right corner of the controller. Like other designs available in the Xbox Design Lab, users can customize the Fallout controller with their preferred thumbsticks, bumpers, d-pad, and more. The controller comes with some of these features automatically pre-selected, but they can be removed to return it to its starting price. Xbox's Fallout controller also comes with Bluetooth capabilities, so it can be used on other platforms like PC.
New Fallout Controller Comes in Four Presets
- White, blue, and gold option inspired by Vault Dwellers
- Silver and red option inspired by the Brotherhood of Steel
- Olive green and tan option inspired by the Pip-Boy
- Brown and bright green option inspired by Mutants
- Users can also choose their own combination of colors and controller features
Although a user can customize the controller to feature any of the Xbox Design Lab's colors, it comes in four presets that are themed around various factions or items from the franchise. These include a white, blue, and gold option inspired by Vault Dwellers, a silver and red option inspired by the Brotherhood of Steel, an olive green and tan option inspired by the Pip-Boy, and a brown and bright green option inspired by Fallout's Mutants. Xbox did not specify how long the controller will remain in the Design Lab.
Recently, Xbox also released Palworld-inspired designs for its standard and Elite controller. However, these controllers aren't unique like the new Fallout product. Instead, they apply presets that are themed around two Pals, Lamball and Depresso.
In January, Xbox released a new Vapor series of designs that are still available in the Design Lab. These swirly, eye-catching patterns can be applied to a user-designed controller for an upcharge of $10.
