Good news for gamers in the UK and Ireland! Currys and Microsoft have teamed up to offer official Xbox console repairs, meaning your precious Xbox Series X|S (and other Xbox models) can now receive expert care at Currys stores and their state-of-the-art Newark repair centre.
This marks a significant step forward, with Currys becoming the first-ever Xbox Authorised Service Provider (ASP) in the UK & Ireland. Following the success of their existing Surface repair partnership, this expansion of services is a win for consumers, Currys, and the planet.

- Expert Repairs: Currys’ trained technicians will handle your Xbox repairs, whether your console is still under warranty or not. So, no matter where you bought your Xbox, Currys has you covered.
- Convenient Options: You can pop into any Currys store to discuss your repair needs, or you can book your console in for a repair at their dedicated Newark facility – Europe’s largest tech repair centre. Choice is a beautiful thing.
- Extending the Life of Tech: This partnership isn’t just about fixing consoles; it’s about tackling e-waste. By offering accessible repairs, Currys and Microsoft are helping to reduce the amount of tech ending up in landfills. A noble cause indeed.
