IKEA and Xbox Present New Gaming Collection
IKEA and Xbox unveiled a joint collection named "YXSTABY" on October 1, 2026. This product line aims to harmoniously integrate gaming equipment with living spaces. According to a press release from IKEA Germany, the collection consists of a total of nine products, including furniture pieces and smaller accessories. The collection features a TV cart, a lounge chair, and a side table, among other items.
Smaller items such as accessories for controllers and laptops are also part of the offering. The products were developed in close collaboration between designers from IKEA and Xbox to enable seamless integration into living spaces. Special attention was paid to the functionality of the products both during gaming and in everyday life. For example, a stool was designed inspired by the shape of an Xbox controller's analog stick. A mobile TV cart with wheels and a lounge chair with hidden storage for accessories are additional highlights of the collection.
The design elements of the Xbox controller are reflected in many products. The D-pad has been transformed into a serving tray and cushion. For collectors, there is a special display box that provides space for controllers or figures. The collection was already presented at Gamescom 2026 and is now available in IKEA stores. The limited collection will be sold only while supplies last.
Online availability will begin on October 15, 2026. IKEA has not yet announced plans for a permanent addition of the products to its range, emphasizing the exclusivity of the collection. Prices for the products vary, with the display box offered at €12.99. The rolling side table is the most expensive product in the series, priced at €129.
The collection offers an interesting mix of functionality and design, aimed at appealing to both gamers and design enthusiasts. The development of the collection was based on visits to households where gaming has a fixed place in everyday life. These insights were incorporated into the design of the products to ensure they meet user needs. The collaboration between IKEA and Xbox marks the first joint product line of the two companies. The "YXSTABY" collection could set a new trend in gaming accessories by focusing on integration into living spaces.
Products are designed to be not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. The limited availability could further increase interest in the collection. IKEA's official press release emphasizes that the collection is designed for both gamers and design enthusiasts. The products aim to bridge the gap between gaming and everyday living. The collection is now available in IKEA stores.
Initial reactions to the collection are positive, with many users expressing interest in the innovative designs. The combination of functionality and appealing design could sustainably change the perception of gaming accessories. The limited collection is expected to generate high demand. The products from the YXSTABY collection will be available in IKEA stores starting October 1, 2026, while online sales will begin on October 15, 2026.
