Since the release of the TV show, the next game has some explaining to do. The TV series is the latest-set entry in the franchise, and incorporates people, places, and things from across the decades of lore — even if it does leave out one major recurring character. But as hard as the TV show tries to stay canon-neutral, it makes its own impact on the universe, too. Sticking closest to one of ' endings as the true outcome for the Mojave Wasteland, the TV series clearly has its own take on canon.
Fallout Image Shows How Pip-Boy Designs Have Changed Throughout the Years

In the wake of renewed interest in the Fallout series, a fan put together a collage that showcased how the Pip-Boy device changed in its designs over the years. The Fallout fan shared five different versions of the Pip-Boy designs that are most commonly used throughout the series, and other fans commented about which designs were their favorites.
The Pip-Boy is a wrist-mounted computer that has become a Fallout series staple. Also called the Personal Information Processor (PIP), the Pip-Boy was created by RobCo Industries, and later revisions were made by both RobCo and Vault-Tec Industries, the company behind the series' vaunted Vaults. However, the Pip-Boy is considered a pre-war device, meaning that in the year 2077 of the series, production would cease due to the world's destruction as a result of nuclear warfare. In the Fallout games, the Pip-Boy is used by players for a variety of purposes. Between checking inventory, viewing the map, playing holotapes, and maxing out the player's skills and statistics, the Pip-Boy has seen plenty of revisions over the years.
Following the success of the Fallout TV series on Prime Video, one fan took it upon themselves to give others a look at the series' signature device. On Reddit, a user named Artanis137 shared a collage of Pip-Boy designs on the r/Fallout subreddit. In their screenshot, Artanis137 showed what the first Pip-Boy model, the Pip-Boy 2000, looked like in the first two Fallout games, which had a rustic design. By comparison, the Pip-Boy 2000 Mark VI was the first collaborative device between RobCo and Vault-Tec and was first featured in Fallout 76. The image also revealed that the Pip-Boy 3000 from Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas was the foundational design that Bethesda would improve upon in future entries. As a result, fans used the interface of the Pip-Boy 3000 series and designed custom Fallout-themed Fitbits based around it.
As a spinoff of the previous Pip-Boy, Fallout 4's Pip-Boy 3000 Mark IV had its knobs and dials moved more to the right side of the device, which Bethesda later stated was done to correct an error with the previous Pip-Boy design. This design would later be seen again in the Fallout TV series. One of the Pip-Boy designs seen in the show was reminiscent of the ones found in Fallout 4, with a silver-colored bezel and dials.
In response, other Fallout fans commented on their favorite Pip-Boy devices, with the Pip-Boy 2000 Mark VI of Fallout 76 being considered among the best designs. As Fallout experiences a surge of new fans in the wake of the TV show's success, it remains to be seen how the design of the Pip-Boy will change along with the series.
