SAN DIEGO, Nov. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Leading gaming accessory brand Turtle Beach (Nasdaq: HEAR) and global music and entertainment streaming platform, TIDAL, have expanded their ongoing partnership focusing on the intersection of gaming and music. The partnership will now feature exclusive content drops, artist-curated playlists and product giveaways, and it all kicks-off with R.LUM.R. The first of many artist-driven activations, the R&B sensation and gaming aficionado has put together a custom giveaway including a three-month TIDAL Premium subscription and custom-made Turtle Beach Elite Pro 2 gaming headset. Additional artists across a variety of genres, all who are avid gamers and members of the gaming community, will be revealed over the next year. As new artists are unveiled, each will provide fans with engaging content, autographed products, plus their choice of the latest gaming gear from Turtle Beach and its ROCCAT PC brand.

“We’re excited to broaden our partnership with TIDAL and their collection of unique artists, and to continue exploring the touchpoints where gaming and music intersect,” said Ryan Dell, SVP of Global Marketing at Turtle Beach. “We’re looking forward to working with TIDAL, R.LUM.R, and many more amazing artists as we create and share truly engaging content that shows the large and positive impact gaming and music plays in their lives.”

Gaming and music continue to come to life through TIDAL’s Gaming Moods module, where members access a series of playlists designed for gamers to enjoy while playing their favorite games. Featuring 21 video game soundtracks and 12 mood playlists, fans can revisit classic hits from video game franchises. Tracks include Guns N Roses “Welcome to the Jungle” from Madden, The Internet’s “Special Affair,” and a variety of additional mellow or charged-up tracks to suit the mood. TIDAL members can access the playlists on TIDAL.com/gaming.

To celebrate the new partnership and welcome R.LUM.R into the family, Turtle Beach and renowned collab artist and sneaker guru, Kickstradomis, created a custom Stealth 600 Gen 2 headset that evokes R.LUM.R ‘s style.
