Repair enthusiasts and Xbox gamers now have a reason to celebrate. iFixit, the renowned online repair platform, has begun selling genuine Xbox parts for the Xbox Series X and Series S. Whether you own the all-digital version or the model with a disc drive, iFixit has you covered. These official parts are complemented by detailed repair guides, empowering users to fix their consoles independently.
Repair Hub for Xbox and Microsoft Devices
iFixit’s Microsoft Repair Hub is the go-to destination for browsing these authentic Xbox components. The company, known for advocating repairability, aims to make it easier for users to extend the lifespan of their devices. In addition to Xbox parts, the hub also features repair parts and tools for Microsoft Surface devices, a partnership iFixit initiated in 2023.
Elizabeth Chamberlain, iFixit’s director of sustainability, emphasized the importance of this collaboration in a statement:
“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 aligns with iFixit’s mission of promoting sustainability and reducing electronic waste.
iFixit’s Growing Portfolio
This is not the first time iFixit has collaborated with major tech companies. In addition to Microsoft, iFixit has partnered with Valve to offer nearly every part of the Steam Deck, along with comprehensive repair guides for the handheld gaming PC. Furthermore, Microsoft itself has taken steps toward repairability by offering first-party parts for its standard and Elite Series 2 Xbox controllers.
Beyond Gaming Consoles
iFixit’s offerings extend well beyond gaming consoles. The company provides genuine repair parts for Google’s Pixel phones and Pixel Tablets. Previously, it also sold genuine parts for Samsung devices, but that collaboration ended earlier this year. Despite this, iFixit continues to expand its range of partnerships, cementing its position as a leader in the DIY repair space.
A Step Towards a More Repairable Future
By enabling users to repair their own devices, iFixit and its partners are fostering a culture of sustainability and self-sufficiency. Whether you’re a casual gamer with a faulty Xbox or a tech enthusiast looking to upgrade your Surface device, iFixit’s latest offerings are a step forward in keeping devices functional and out of landfills.
