Gamers, get ready to plug in. Turtle Beach, one of the biggest names in gaming audio, has just dropped some seriously exciting news: the upcoming Atlas 200, its very first officially licensed wired gaming headset for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. Landing in Australia on September 19, 2025, the Atlas 200 promises the kind of premium sound and all-day comfort the brand is famous for – without blowing your budget.
At $99.95 RRP, the Atlas 200 is designed as an affordable entry point for players who still want big-league performance. And in true Turtle Beach fashion, it’s not just sticking to one platform. Alongside the PlayStation-specific models, gamers can also pick up multiplatform and PC-exclusive editions, each built for different styles of play but all with the same promise: crisp, immersive audio and lightweight comfort that lasts.
A mash-up of Turtle Beach favourites
So, what makes the Atlas 200 special? Turtle Beach has cherry-picked some of the best features from two of its most-loved headsets – the Atlas Air, a flagship PC headset, and the Recon 200, a wired multiplatform staple. The result is a headset that packs in premium 50mm Nanoclear drivers, reliable wired compatibility, and a comfortable ergonomic fit.
Translation: you’re getting high-quality, spatially optimised sound whether you’re storming through multiplayer maps on PS5, exploring open worlds on PC, or sneaking in a few rounds of mobile gaming on the train. And because it’s wired, there are no battery dramas or sudden drop-outs – just plug in the 3.5mm jack and play.
Built for long-haul play
Comfort has clearly been top of mind too. The Atlas 200 weighs just 280 grams, making it one of the lightest headsets in its class. Add a floating headband, memory foam ear cushions, and Turtle Beach’s ProSpecs glasses-friendly design, and you’ve got the recipe for fatigue-free sessions that go well into the night.
The chat side of things is also sorted. The unidirectional mic keeps your voice clear and can be flipped up to instantly mute when you’re done talking. It’s simple, streamlined, and exactly what you want in the middle of a match.
Different editions for different players
Looks-wise, the PlayStation edition comes in classic black or white, both dressed up with the unmistakable PlayStation blue. Prefer to keep your options open? The multiplatform version opts for sleek black and grey, making it an easy fit with any gaming setup.
PC players, on the other hand, get a few extras. The Atlas 200 PC Edition still sits at $99.95 RRP but comes with a USB audio adapter that unlocks a range of features through Turtle Beach’s Swarm II desktop app. From custom EQ settings to advanced mic controls, it’s a nice bonus for anyone who likes fine-tuning their sound for streaming or competitive play.
A milestone moment for Turtle Beach
The Atlas 200 isn’t just another addition to Turtle Beach’s lineup – it’s the company’s first officially licensed PlayStation headset. That official stamp of approval from Sony is a big deal, and it shows just how seriously Turtle Beach is investing in console players.
CEO Cris Keirn summed it up in the announcement: “By blending some of the best elements of our fan-favourite Atlas and Recon headsets, we’ve created an exceptionally lightweight and comfortable new model that delivers an immersive audio experience.”
And immersive audio is exactly what fans will be expecting. With Turtle Beach’s track record of creating best-selling headsets and accessories, it looks like the Atlas 200 is already shaping up as a strong contender for your next upgrade.
Game, set match
Whether you’re chasing epic single-player soundscapes, needing clear comms with your squad, or just wanting something comfortable enough for long gaming nights, the Atlas 200 looks set to tick the boxes. It’s affordable without cutting corners, stylish without being flashy, and versatile enough to cover both console and PC setups.
Mark your calendars – September 19 is when the Atlas 200 officially launches in Australia. If you’re looking for a headset that brings serious performance without torching your wallet, this one should be on your radar.
