iFixit and Microsoft Partner to Offer Official Xbox Repair Parts
But in great news for gamers, iFixit has partnered with Microsoft to offer official repair parts for the Xbox Series X and S. Thanks to this new partnership, repairing consoles at home is about to get a whole lot easier. It's a great way to reduce waste and extend the life of gaming devices.
Official Parts and DIY Guides at Your Fingertips
iFixit's Microsoft Repair Hub now carries a whole suite of official Xbox Series X and S parts, including both the all-digital and disc-drive editions. So that anyone can fix things, iFixit pairs those parts with free, detailed, step-by-step repair guides to walk even the most novice repairers through fixes with confidence.
We are delighted to partner with Microsoft again to help gamers take good care of their Xbox consoles," said Elizabeth Chamberlain, iFixit's Director of Sustainability. "The partnership extends the success of the partnership we had with Microsoft that started offering parts for Surface devices, enabling users to fix their laptops and tablets themselves."
Expanding Repair Access Across the Gaming World
This isn't iFixit's first gaming partnership. The company also offers repair solutions for Valve's Steam Deck, where it provides users with parts and guides for repairs on the handheld gaming console. For Xbox controller repairs, Microsoft is offering official parts for both the standard and Elite Series 2 controllers, furthering repair options for gamers everywhere.
Beyond Gaming: iFixit's Commitment to Right-to-Repair
While iFixit’s partnership with Microsoft focuses on gaming, the company’s mission extends far beyond. iFixit provides official repair parts for a wide range of devices, including Google’s Pixel phones and tablets. However, a prior partnership with Samsung ended earlier this year.
This collaboration with Microsoft reinforces iFixit's role as a pioneer in the right-to-repair movement, making it even easier for users to fix and maintain their devices, whether it's a malfunctioning Xbox, a cracked screen, or a faulty controller. iFixit's focus on sustainability and repair access continues to empower users while reducing electronic waste.
