The PC edition will ship with Steam Achievements as well as gamepad support. Xbox One and Xbox 360 controllers can be used with no additional preparation but you may have to do some tinkering for other gamepads.
The PS4 and Xbox One editions of Fallout 4 will require a comparable amount of space. Bethesda estimates you'll need between 28 and 35 GB of space on your console depending on the territory you live in. Speaking of which, these are the supported languages for the game at launch for each region of the world:
- North America: English/French voice/text.
- South America: English voice/text, as well as BR-PT and Latin American Spanish text.
- United Kingdom and Australia/New Zealand: English voice/text only.
- Most European territories: English/French/Italian/German/Spanish voice/text
- Russia and Poland: English voice/text and Polish/Russian text.
- Asia: English voice/text and English voice / Traditional Chinese text.
- Japan: Japanese voice/text.
For most territories, Fallout 4 will unlock at 12:01am local time on November 10th. In the case of North America, the game will be available at 12:01 am EST. Gamers in Japan and the rest of Asia will need to wait until December 17th and November 11th to play, though.
The game will launch alongside a Pip-Boy mobile app that lets you manage your character and their inventory. This app will be usable on iOS, Android and Windows Phone devices. If you were one of the lucky few who got the Pip-Boy Edition of the game, you'll get a wrist holster for your phone to turn it into a real-life Pip-Boy. Bethesda says that most smartphones will be able to fit inside this holster:
The Pip-Boy included will have foam inserts that fit iPhone 6/6s, iPhone 5/5s, iPhone 4/4S, Samsung Galaxy S5, Samsung Galaxy S4, and Samsung Galaxy S3. In addition, using the customizable foam insert you should be able to fit most other popular smartphone devices. As we wanted to stay faithful to the dimensions of the in-game model, any smartphones larger than the models listed will not fit inside the wearable device, but can still use the Pip-Boy App.
Fallout 4's Pip-Boy Edition quickly sold out so if you haven't pre-ordered one already, you'll have to make your own Pip-Boy.
