Microsoft and UK electronics retailer Currys has introduced a partnership enabling Xbox homeowners to deliver their stricken consoles in for restore.
The partnership sees Currys – which already affords Floor repairs – develop into the primary ever Xbox Authorised Service Supplier within the UK and Eire. And, it doesn’t matter whether or not you got your console at Currys or not.

Players will be capable of deliver their Xbox Collection X or Collection S console (each out and in of guarantee) into retailer for restore. Whereas the press launch doesn’t point out the Xbox One explicitly, we’re checking with Currys whether or not that’s a part of the partnership. It’s all a part of Currys’ efforts to deal with digital waste.
“That is excellent news for gamers, opening up an enormous community to get their tech mounted; it’s excellent news for Currys, serving to to vary the buyer relationship with tech for the higher; and it’s excellent news for the planet, and the battle to fight the UK’s e-waste disaster,” says Currys COO Lindsay Haselhurst in a press launch.
Beforehand, UK players had needed to ship their console into Microsoft for restore, or belief it with a third-party restore service. This offers customers a straightforward choice, whether or not it’s dropping it off at Currys on the way in which house from work, or on the weekend.
No information but on the turnaround occasions to have a restore carried out by the retail park large, however we’ve requested the query.
Microsoft has already made some first rate steps to enhance the sustainability of its video games consoles. The corporate lately teamed up with iFixit to supply real elements for Xbox repairs, whereas the community of uBreakiFix restore shops in america now affords in-person repairs.
