Fallout showrunners, Graham Wagner and Geneva Robertson-Dworet are open to a crossover with the games. This opens the door for anything introduced in the show to be used in future Fallout entries, as the showrunners are up for sharing ideas.
Speaking with me ahead of Fallout's premiere this Thursday, Wagner says that it will be up to series director Todd Howard to implement anything the show introduces to the lore into the games. However, Wagner also gives the idea his blessing, saying that he and Robertson-Dworet would be "honoured and stoked" to see their creations make it into the source material.

Of course, there were some things that the show just had to borrow from the games, like power armour. We spoke to actor Aaron Moten about how it felt to step into the armour while filming, and
