Lenovo revealed new models of handheld gaming PCs at CES 2025, which are the Legion Go S and the Legion Go 2. The base model of the Legion Go S is set to release in January 2025, with a SteamOS-based model coming in May 2025. The Legion Go 2 is currently still in development, with a tentative release window set for the end of 2025.
The Lenovo Legion Go S, whether using Windows or the SteamOS, will both feature a choice of two possible AMD Ryzen processors, include 32GB RAM and include a microSD card slot for adding additional storage space. The controller pads for these models will be fused to the hardware and not removable like a standard Legion Go, but there will also be a pair of USB4 ports on the top to add additional control options. The initial base Windows model will start at $729.99 when it launches in January 2025, and other versions will follow and start at $599.99.
The SteamOS variant of the Legion Go S is the first handheld, third-party device to run on Valve’s operating system. It features the same hardware specs and functionality like cloud saves and native Steam Library Access. (Someone can also install Steam on a standard Legion Go S to access said features.) This version is expected to debut in May 2025 and cost $499.99.
Meanwhile, the Lenovo Legion Go 2, the successor to the Legion Go, only appeared in a prototype form at the event, but it is expected to release sometime in 2025. The system features an 8.8″ display with a Variable Refresh Rate, the AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme processor, dual USB-C ports, and 2TB of SSD storage. This version’s TrueStrike controllers are also detachable, just like the original model and Nintendo Switch.
The Lenovo Legion Go S Windows version will release in January 2025, with other versions arriving in May 2025. The Legion Go S Powered by SteamOS will arrive in May 2025. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 is expected sometime in 2025.
