IKEA and Microsoft’s Xbox division announced a collaboration to create a line of gaming-inspired furniture and home accessories. Following two years of research, the partnership unveiled the ‘YXSTABY’ collection, which utilizes a minimalist Nordic design rather than traditional high-contrast RGB aesthetics. The nine-piece line includes products such as an adjustable gaming desk with honeycomb ventilation, a multifunctional TV stand, and a stool resembling an analog stick. Technical features include integrated wireless charging and magnetic accessory mounts, with over 80% of products constructed from recycled plastics and FSC-certified wood. Unveiled at Gamescom, the collection was developed through a joint design effort where one designer from each company worked on every item. The range includes a controller box that doubles as a laptop stand, a D-pad inspired cushion, and a stainless steel tray. The line is designed to move gaming away from dedicated, dark rooms and into shared domestic spaces like kitchens, lounges, and offices. Following the official launch, the collection is being marketed as a way to integrate gaming into various living ~~spaces, including kitchens~~ spaces. The YXSTABY line was scheduled to begin appearing in IKEA stores and ~~living rooms.~~ online starting October 1, with specific availability in the US and Sweden. In ~~Portugal,~~ Colombia, the collection ~~aims to serve the local~~ was officially presented in Bogotá, highlighting items such as a lightweight gaming ~~population with products like~~ armchair designed for various postures and a mobile TV unit ~~featuring built-in cable management to hide wires and transformers.~~ with ventilated compartments. Product pricing for select items ranges from €12.99 for a controller display box to €99.99 for a TV stand. To celebrate the launch, a national ‘Crash Team Racing’ gaming tournament is scheduled to take place in France from October 17 to 31, 2026. Qualifying rounds will be held at several IKEA locations, including Montpellier, Strasbourg, Paris, Toulouse, Rouen, and Nice, with a grand final hosted by influencer Luttilutti at the Paris Italie Deux store.
