SAN DIEGO, June 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading gaming
headset and audio accessory brand Turtle Beach (NASDAQ: HEAR),
confirmed this morning that it has the largest lineup of gaming
headsets available to help gamers get their Victory Royale in
Fortnite on Nintendo Switch™. Last week at E3 2018, Nintendo
and Epic Games launched Fortnite on Nintendo Switch,
expanding the hugely popular Battle Royale game to all major gaming
consoles, as well on PC, Mac and mobile devices. Epic Games also
confirmed Fortnite has its own in-game voice chat
functionality on Switch, which removes the need for gamers to use
the mobile app-based chat solution. Turtle Beach, which already has
the largest assortment of high-quality gaming headsets, has
confirmed it now offers 25 headsets in its current product lineup
(not including prior legacy models) that are fully compatible with
Fortnite's in-game chat system on Switch.
For a complete list of Turtle Beach's current gaming headsets
that work great with Fortnite on Nintendo Switch, visit

"Epic Games bringing their own in-game chat system to the Switch
with Fortnite is a brilliant move, as gamers can now enjoy
the best audio experience, which relies on the best gaming headsets
for success," said Juergen Stark,
CEO, Turtle Beach. "Epic's bold move seemingly opens the doors for
developers of future online multiplayer titles coming to Nintendo
Switch to follow their lead and implement in-game chat systems,
which is great news overall for Nintendo, for Turtle Beach, and
most importantly…for gamers."
Since Fortnite was made available on Nintendo Switch, the
game was downloaded over 2 million times in the first 24-hours,
according to Nintendo. The timing for this couldn't be better, as
Turtle Beach just revealed two great new products at E3 – the
Recon 200 and Stealth 300 – both
optimally built for Fortnite on Nintendo Switch as well as
other Battle Royale games, offering powerful amplified game
audio, crystal-clear chat, and a wealth of features.
With the Recon 200, gamers get a sleek-looking new
headset in black or white that delivers powerful amplified audio
with enhanced bass. The Recon 200 delivers
high-quality game sound and crystal-clear chat through 40mm
speakers and a high-sensitivity flip-to-mute mic. Additionally, the
Recon 200's metal-reinforced headband and synthetic
leather-wrapped memory foam ear cushions provide added durability
and unmatched comfort. The Recon 200 has a
rechargeable battery that delivers over 12-hours of gaming per
charge and features convenient onboard controls for Master Volume
and Variable Mic Monitoring. The Recon 200 headsets
will be available at retail this fall for a MSRP of $59.95.
Incorporating many key features from this year's top-selling
headset in North
America1, the Stealth 600, the all-new
Stealth 300 headsets deliver the quality and features
gamers want, including powerful amplified audio delivered through
large 50mm speakers and crystal-clear chat via a high-sensitivity
flip-to-mute mic. The Stealth 300 headsets also
feature a metal-reinforced headband, plus Turtle Beach's unique
ProSpecs™ glasses friendly design with memory foam ear cushions,
variable mic monitoring, EQ audio presets including bass boost, and
a 40-hour rechargeable battery. The Stealth 300
headsets are planned to launch at participating retailers in
July 2018 for a MSRP of $79.95.
