■ IKEARiding on the Gamescom excitement, IKEA and XBOX announced their collaboration: “YXSTABY”. If you were wondering about that crappy name, it’s a weird pronunciation of the Xbox controller layouts – a, b, x, y, start, trigger. However clever they think they are, nobody likes that stupid name. And personally speaking, for myself, I did not really like ANY of their collaboration.

I don’t think anyone likes the name YXSTABY (“YX-Stabby”?), but that’s the name of the IKEA and Xbox collaboration. The IKEA’s YXSTABY Gaming Event Weekend is taking place this weekend (October 10-11, 2026).
The event is free, but if you want the free exclusive keychain, you need to register with IKEA… which means you need to create an IKEA account. That’s fine, you get points or something. I don’t go to IKEA that much, because it’s so far away from where I live, and also, I don’t really buy that much furniture.
I didn’t really have anything going on Saturday, so I registered. I’ll report back Saturday evening. From their photos, I think they look dumb, but who knows, maybe in person and interacting with them in real life – I might feel different about them.
Event Details:
Test your gaming trivia knowledge, show off your creativity and come dressed as your favorite gaming character; search for the hidden Spartans in the YXSTABY scavenger hunt, take a fun photo, enjoy special gaming-themed food offers, and experience the new YXSTABY collection designed for gaming life at home!
