Bethesda is bringing the iconic Pip-Boy to life by realising an actual version of the post-apocalyptic smart device that works with iPhones.

The physical version of the Pip-Boy will be included with a special edition of Fallout 4, and owners can slide in their iPhone to work as the screen for the device.

To go with it, Bethesda has created a custom app that functions as a second screen experience. Offering his own thoughts on gimmick second-screen apps, Todd Howard "as far as stupid gimmicks go, this is the best fucking one i've seen."

The Fallout 4 companion app will be available to download to everyone on iOS and Android. It will communicate with Xbox One, PS4, and PC. It will be available alongside the game.

As for the in-game Pip-Boy, Bethesda has re-designed the interface to be more entertaining. During the Fallout 4 demo at its press conference, the little on-screen Vault Boy is shown animating as the player navigates around the device.

Also included in the Fallout 4 Pip-Boy are mini-games. During the demo we're shown one that looks to be inspired by Nintendo's arcade classic Donkey Kong.
