IKEA And XBOX Launch YXSTABY Collection On October 1
IKEA is putting a gaming line into its regular nationwide retail channels rather than treating it as novelty merchandise, which is a different distribution path than most console-brand collaborations get.

IKEA Japan will release the YXSTABY Collection, a collaboration with XBOX, on October 1, 2026 at stores nationwide, the IKEA online store, and the IKEA app. The lineup has 9 products spanning furniture, interior items, and lifestyle goods, each developed by one designer from IKEA and one from XBOX. Items include a gaming stick-shaped stool at 7,990 yen, a controller display box at 3,999 yen, and a D-pad cushion at 1,999 yen.
Each of the 9 products in the YXSTABY Collection was developed by one designer from IKEA and one from XBOX. The stated goal is solving small frustrations players report, such as wanting a place for the controller other than the sofa armrest or wanting to charge casually between sessions.
The XBOX Wireless Controller is the stated inspiration across the collection. The Gaming Stick-Shaped Stool takes the thumbstick button as its motif and can be moved by leaning forward, the way a stick tilts. The Gaming D-Pad Cushion uses the X-shaped key as its motif, is machine washable, and is made of 100% recycled polyester.
