I, like everyone else, gasped with delight when the physical Pip Boy was announced with Fallout 4 back at E3 2015. That’s because it’s a big piece of plastic rubbish. You might even feel like you’re living in Fallout 4 yourself – without the whole apocalypse thing.Īlthough I was initially concerned that the £100 price for the game and the Pip Boy would put people off, it seems most people weren’t so fussy, as it completely sold out through ordering.īut when the Pip Boy Edition starts landing on doorsteps tomorrow – or perhaps not, if GAME has cancelled yours – there may be some major grumbling. It’s totally wearable and, when you shove your phone inside, the Pip Boy app connects to your game and becomes a very elaborate companion app.

Exclusive to GAME here in the UK, the £100 SKU includes a real-life version of your very own Pip Boy. There’s been a lot of hullabaloo about the Fallout 4 Pip Boy Edition. OPINION: Games Editor Sam Loveridge explains why the real-life Pip Boy has broken her heart.
