iFixit Teams Up with Microsoft to Provide Genuine Xbox Parts for DIY Repairs

In an exciting development for gamers, iFixit has announced that it now offers genuine Xbox parts, making it easier for players to repair their Xbox Series X and S consoles. This initiative comes with official repair guides that help users navigate the repair process seamlessly. If you're looking to extend the life of your Xbox and keep it out of landfills, now is the perfect time to check out iFixit’s Microsoft Repair Hub.

Elizabeth Chamberlain, the director of sustainability at iFixit, expressed her enthusiasm about the collaboration with Microsoft, stating, “We’re excited to be working with Microsoft to keep Xboxes running longer and out of the waste heap. We now offer official Microsoft parts and step-by-step repair guides for Xbox Series S and Series X, including both the all-digital and disk drive editions.” This partnership signals a commitment to sustainability and empowering customers to repair their devices rather than replace them.

In addition to Xbox repair parts, the hub also includes components for Microsoft Surface devices, which iFixit began selling in 2023. Chamberlain remarked, “Since we launched our Surface parts collaboration with Microsoft last year, we’ve been helping our customers repair their own Microsoft laptops and tablets — and it’s awesome to be able to offer Xbox owners the same opportunity.”

But the collaborations don’t stop there. iFixit has also partnered with Valve, providing nearly every part of the Steam Deck, alongside numerous repair guides for the gaming handheld. For Microsoft fans, the company already sells official parts for Xbox controllers, including the standard and Elite Series 2 models.

Furthermore, iFixit doesn’t just cater to gaming consoles. The platform also offers authentic repair parts for Google’s Pixel phones and tablets. Interestingly, while iFixit previously worked with Samsung to provide official replacement parts, that partnership concluded earlier this year.

This move not only showcases the commitment to sustainability but also emphasizes the growing trend of empowering consumers to take control of their tech repairs, making iFixit the go-to destination for DIY repairs across multiple platforms. Now’s the time to embrace the DIY revolution and keep your devices in top shape with genuine parts!
