Xbox respawns IKEA furniture with gaming range

Microsoft's latest Xbox merchandising deal unveils YXSTABY, a nine-piece collection of items for die-hard gamers. The range includes a controller-inspired stool, cushion with D-pad, and even a tariff refund for Xbox customers. However, the collection's offerings are limited. IKEA has a history of being labyrinthine, and Xbox has faced similar staffing issues under Asha Sharma's leadership.

IKEA charges £12 for a cushion or platter, with side tables up to £115. The YXSTABY range will debut at Gamescom but won't hit stores until October 1.
