The wearable was developed using 3D models of the actual accessory from the game to prioritize accuracy and is equipped with a four-inch display. The device was created in collaboration with [The Wand Company](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pipboy-3000-replica) and will allow users to toggle between the classic green user interface from the Fallout 3 game or the yellowish one from New Vegas. The Bethesda Pip-Boy 3000 replica is available now for preorder for $299.99 and is slated to start shipping June 2026. The wearable mimics the in-game experience of measuring for radiation, but instead measures radiation from FM radio for a realistic albeit far safer experience.
