Xbox announces new repair options for Xbox consoles, including first officially authorized third-party repair stores

New Xbox Series X|S models shown at the 2024 Xbox Showcase.

Microsoft is expanding Xbox Series X|S console repair options in a bid to promote sustainability and reduced waste. As shared via Xbox Wire on Wednesday, the company is now expanding its repairability program by partnering with uBreakiFix by Asurion, which will become the first Xbox Authorized Service Provider.

This means that players can now take their Xbox Series X|S consoles to be serviced at any of these hundreds of stores in the U.S, instead of being required to contact Microsoft directly, even if you're no longer covered by your console's warranty. Naturally, this includes repairs for the three most recent Xbox Series X|S console models: The 2TB Xbox Series X Galaxy Special Edition, the 1TB Digital Xbox Series X, and the 1TB white Xbox Series S.
