YXSTABY, an eight-piece collection of gaming furniture and accessories from IKEA and XBOX, goes on sale in Malaysia on 12 November 2026, with prices starting at RM59. It is aimed at a familiar household setup: one living room, one screen, and several people who need it for different things.
The range will be available at IKEA Damansara, Cheras, Tebrau and Batu Kawan, as well as online at IKEA.my. It was unveiled at a media launch in Petaling Jaya, opened by Amanda Low, Country Marketing and PR Manager of IKEA Malaysia, before Bam Ng Ker Wei, Interior Design Manager at IKEA Damansara, walked guests through each piece.
Why YXSTABY Is Built for Player Two
Gaming at home is rarely a solo activity. A sibling waits for the next turn, a parent watches from the sofa, and someone else may need the same room to work or watch TV.
That shared room is also where controllers, cables and headsets tend to pile up. In the first IKEA Home Organisation Index, an online survey of 506 Malaysian adults conducted in September, about 1 in 5 respondents named electronics and cables among the hardest things to find a place for. One in three said different needs at home make getting organised harder.
Takeshi Murai, Country Retail Director of IKEA Malaysia, said gaming has become part of everyday life for many people. “We believe clutter is simply things without a place, so this collection gives controllers, cables and headsets somewhere to live, in furniture that looks at home in the living room,” he said.
How IKEA and XBOX Designed the Range
Designers from both companies worked with specialists from the gaming world and visited homes where gaming is part of daily life. The brief covered the players as well as the people who share their space.
The pieces follow IKEA’s Democratic Design approach, which weighs form, function, quality and price. Visually, they keep to straight lines and softer shapes in white, black and beige. Green is reserved for the pockets, slings and compartments that hold gaming gear.
Furniture That Moves Around the Home
Several YXSTABY pieces are built to roll. The gaming TV stand on castors (RM399), which IKEA says is the first of its kind it has developed, takes TVs of up to 55 inches. Its castors lock during a game, and a shelf below the screen holds consoles and controllers.
The side table on castors (RM499) follows players to wherever they sit. Sliding doors keep controllers out of sight, with built-in holes for charging them while they are stored.
For a fixed desk, the monitor stand (RM99) raises one or two screens and adds holders for a phone, headphones and a controller. The laptop support with storage (RM99) is a box with a handle for cables and hardware, and its lid doubles as a laptop stand once work takes over.
YXSTABY Pieces for Lepak Sessions
The slower end of the range is where the XBOX references are easiest to spot. The thumbstick stool (RM169) was built from the original 3D design files of the controller’s thumbstick. It tilts as you move, and its plastic is at least 50% recycled.
The D-pad cushion (RM59) borrows the shape of the controller’s directional pad and works as arm or back support. The lounge chair (RM399) can be pulled closer to the screen or pushed back, hides a controller pocket underneath and carries a 10-year guarantee.
Collectors get a mirrored controller display box (RM99) that shows a controller from every side and can hold figurines. It can also be mounted on the wall.
Where to See YXSTABY in Malaysia
Each IKEA store will feature a gaming room setting, so shoppers can try the pieces before buying. In all, the eight products come in twelve colour options, with full details on IKEA Malaysia’s website.
Shoppers in Sarawak will not have to wait long. The collection arrives at IKEA Kuching when the store opens on 27 November.
