IKEA x Xbox YXSTABY Gaming Collection Launches in Malaysia

Gaming furniture is often designed around a dedicated setup, but not every household has the space for a separate gaming room. IKEA Malaysia and Xbox are taking a different approach with YXSTABY, an eight-piece collection of furniture and accessories intended to fit into the everyday home.

Launched in Malaysia on 12 November 2026, the collection considers how gaming spaces are shared with other activities, from working and watching television to spending time with family.

Its designs combine storage and practical features with details inspired by gaming equipment, allowing accessories to be kept close at hand without making the living room feel like a dedicated gaming station.

The collection also responds to a familiar household challenge: finding places for electronics and cables. According to IKEA Malaysia’s first Home Organisation Index, around one in five Malaysians identified electronics and cables among the most difficult items to organise, while one in three said that differing household needs made keeping things organised more challenging.

YXSTABY was developed by designers from IKEA and Xbox, with input from gaming experts and observations of how people play at home. The result is a range that applies IKEA’s Democratic Design approach to gaming, balancing function, comfort, appearance and affordability.

Several pieces are designed to be moved around the home. The TV stand on castors (RM399) has storage at the back for gaming equipment, while the side table on castors (RM499) features sliding doors and space for device charging. Both can be moved when the room needs to serve another purpose.

For more permanent setups, the monitor stand (RM99) accommodates one or two screens, with additional holders for a phone, headphones and controller. The laptop support with storage (RM99) provides space for accessories and hardware, while its lid can also function as a laptop stand.

The collection extends beyond the gaming desk. A lounge chair with concealed storage underneath is priced at RM399, while the thumbstick stool (RM169), based on the original 3D design files of a controller thumbstick, is designed to tilt with movement. Other accessories include a D-pad-inspired cushion (RM59) and a mirrored display box (RM99) for controllers and collectibles.

A restrained palette of white, black and beige gives the pieces a look suited to contemporary interiors, with green accents used on pockets, slings and storage compartments.

The YXSTABY collection is available from 12 November at IKEA Damansara, Cheras, Tebrau and Batu Kawan, as well as through IKEA.my. It will arrive at IKEA Kuching on 27 November 2026, with prices ranging from RM59 to RM499.
