IKEA and Xbox have launched a joint collection called YXSTABY, which includes nine items designed for gamers. The collection includes a gaming chair with pockets, priced at 99.95 euros in France, among other products. The release comes as Xbox marks its 25th anniversary, a time when the company is dealing with a drop in console sales. The YXSTABY collection features a variety of items, including a chair designed to hold a controller, a stool shaped like a joystick, and a cross-shaped directional platform. These products aim to blend gaming culture with practical home furnishings. The YXSTABY gaming chair in the Vissle beige color is priced at 99.95 euros. It has a maximum load capacity of 110 kg and measures 72 cm wide by 83 cm deep and 114 cm high. The seat height is 43 cm from the ground, and the chair has a depth of 156 cm when unfolded. The chair's cover is removable and machine-washable at 40 degrees Celsius, made from polyester fabric containing at least 90% recycled material. According to Windows Central, which tested the chair at Gamescom, the chair is an improved version of an IKEA chair, with integrated storage for a controller or a portable console. The journalist who tested it found it very comfortable despite its modest appearance. Other items in the YXSTABY collection include a stool shaped like a joystick, priced at 39.99 euros in green or black; a game TV stand on wheels, priced at 99.95 euros in white or black; and a game side table on wheels, priced at 129 euros in walnut or grey. The collection also includes supports and storage items, such as a game screen stand for 29.99 euros, a gaming computer stand with storage for 24.99 euros, and a controller display stand for 19.99 euros in black or white. Decor items include a cross directional cushion for 14.99 euros in green and a cross directional platform for 14.99 euros. The YXSTABY collection will be available in stores and online starting from October 1, 2026. Microsoft has reported declining revenues for the 2026 fiscal year, partly due to falling console sales. In response, the company has implemented cost-cutting measures and increased prices, leading to rumors of a potential sale. Asha Sharma, the new head of the Xbox division, denied these rumors in an interview with the New York Times, stating that Xbox is not for sale. The YXSTABY collection is one of the initiatives imagined by Microsoft to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Xbox. The collection serves as both an image and celebration operation, aiming to position the brand in the daily lives of gamers and momentarily shift focus from the challenges the company is facing. The contrast remains sharp, as it is easier to buy a chair for 99.95 euros than a console, whose price has recently increased.
