With a unique two-piece design, the Atom serves as a console-like interface for iPhone models ranging from 11 to the newly launched 14.

One of the Atom’s killer features is its low-latency Bluetooth connectivity. Say goodbye to lag when gaming on popular cloud platforms like Apple Arcade, Xbox Game Pass, GeForce Now, and Steam Link. The Turtle Beach Atom aims to deliver a smooth and lag-free gaming experience no matter your preferred platform.
Portability Meets Functionality
Stowing away the Atom is just as easy as gaming with it. The two modules magnetically stick together, fitting snugly in a pocket or in the included carrying case. On-the-go gamers, rejoice!
