Xbox and Ikea – at first glance, the two brands hardly fit together. However, Gamescom 2026 in Cologne shows how well this combination can work: Together, the games publisher and the Swedish furniture company have presented a new collection that combines gaming and living.
Under the name YXSTABY, the unusual collaboration produces nine products that are not only intended for the classic gaming setup, but can also be easily integrated into the living room.
Revealed at Gamescom
At Gamescom 2026 in Cologne in August, Ikea and Xbox presented their unusual collaboration to a broad audience for the first time. It becomes clear right from the unveiling: There is more to YXSTABY than just a common logo on well-known Ikea furniture. Designers and product developers from Ikea and Xbox developed the collection together from the start. In so-called co-creation teams, one person from both design teams worked together. Xbox’s gaming and controller know-how met Ikea’s experience with living spaces and everyday use.
The result is intended to be a collection that no longer treats gaming as a separate corner of the home. Instead, the boundaries between gaming setup and living room are blurring: a mobile TV stand, seating and practical accessories should be able to be flexibly integrated into everyday life. We were able to see the new collection ourselves at Gamescom – and it quickly became apparent that YXSTABY is much more than just an ordinary brand collaboration.
We give you a first insight into the collection from October 1, 2026 in Ikea furniture stores and also online from October 15 will be available.
YXSTABY D-Pad Cushion
The YXSTABY D-Pad Cushion brings one of the most iconic elements of the Xbox controller to your couch. The striking D-pad shape, the strong green and the decorative stitching make the cushion a real eye-catcher – regardless of whether it is on the sofa, the bed or in the gaming chair. And of course it’s comfortable too. This means that the pillow will not only be interesting for gamers, but will also quickly become a topic of conversation.
YXSTABY laptop stand with storage space
Not everyone has their own gaming room – and this is exactly where it comes from YXSTABY laptop stand with storage space into the game. It raises the laptop to a comfortable height while creating space for controllers and other accessories. After playing, the equipment simply disappears inside the stand and is protected from dust. The dining table quickly becomes a gaming spot and then just as quickly becomes a place for breakfast or home office.
YXSTABY gaming controller display case
Your favorite controllers no longer have to hide somewhere in the closet. In the YXSTABY showcase they get their own little appearance. A mirror inside highlights the hardware, while the transparent holder makes the controller appear to float. The showcase can be used on the wall or free-standing and placed horizontally or vertically. And if you ever tire of the controller, the holder can be removed and replaced with other small collectibles. Also available in black.

The open shelves provide space for a console, soundbar or streaming box, while the integrated cable management, the partially hidden shelves and the hooks behind the screen ensure a bit of order. The TV holder is available in white and black.
YXSTABY Thumbstick Stool
If you often need additional seating while gaming, this is it YXSTABY Thumbstick Stool a rather unusual piece of furniture. Ikea designer David Wahl and Xbox designer Elliot Hsu were inspired by the thumbstick of a controller and quickly transformed it into a stool. The textured surface is reminiscent of the original, while the round seat and arched base provide the right look. This means that the small stool looks good not only in a gaming setup, but also when relaxed next to the sofa or lowboard. Also available in green.

At the YXSTABY D-Pad Controller Serving Tray Another well-known Xbox detail becomes a home accessory. The distinctive cross shape of the D-Pad is reflected in the design of the tray and is a real eye-catcher thanks to the shiny surface. Of course, you can use the tray in the classic way for serving – or place controllers, snacks and other small items on it.

Controller, headphones, charging cable and snacks: At YXSTABY side table everything has its place. Thanks to the wheels, you can move it flexibly wherever you need it. The integrated charging function for mobile devices is also practical. Behind the felt sliding doors, cables and technology disappear from view, but still remain quickly accessible. This keeps your setup tidy without having to clean up before every gaming session.
YXSTABY lounge chair
The YXSTABY lounge chair doesn’t want to look like a classic gaming chair – and that’s exactly what makes it interesting. The ergonomic seat shape should enable different positions: you can lean forward while gaming or sink back and relax during a series marathon. There is also a pocket under the seat for controllers, headphones and cables. In the living room, the armchair appears pleasantly inconspicuous and only reveals at second glance that it is specifically intended for gaming.
YXSTABY monitor stand
At the YXSTABY monitor stand Gaming and a pretty classic furniture look come together. Ikea designer Friso Wiersma was inspired by a shelf concept from the 80s and relies on untreated pine wood, clear lines and red-trimmed ends. This means the monitor stands a little higher, but at the same time you get additional space on the desk. A simple detail that can still greatly enhance your setup.
