Fallout: New Vegas modders have released a working Pip-Boy mod with a flip-up lid, modelled on the design from Van Buren, the cancelled Black Isles Studios Fallout 3. The release landed around October 23rd, the in-universe date of the Great War, which fans mark annually with community celebrations. Players are praising the retro-futuristic device and its nod to Fallout's cut history.

Why now: The release coincided with the annual Fallout community celebration of October 23rd, the in-universe date of the nuclear apocalypse.
