At the 2025 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Lenovo debuted an expansion of its Legion Go family, beginning with the Lenovo Legion Go S. This device will be available in two flavors, one powered by Windows and another powered by SteamOS. It’s actually the world’s first officially licensed handheld powered by SteamOS, making it a true alternative to Valve’s own Steam Deck. Both versions sport an 8-inch screen (1920 x 1200) with VRR support up to 120Hz, TrueStrike controllers with adjustable trigger switches, and hall-effect joysticks. The Legion Go S measures 11.77 inches by 5.01 inches by 0.88 inches and tips the scale at 1.63 pounds.
Under the hood, users can select from either the exclusive to Lenovo Legion Go AMD Ryzen Z2 Go processor or the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor (available April 2025) and up to 32GB of 7500Mhz LPDDR5X RAM. For battery, the Legion Go S uses a three-cell, 55.5Whr unit. Other specifications include Wi-Fi 6e support, a pair of USB 4 ports on the top, and a microSD card slot. The Windows unit will feature a white case, while the SteamOS version gets a darker gray/black finish.
Along with debuting the Legion Go S devices, Lenovo also introduced a prototype for the Lenovo Legion Go 2. The new device is still being refined, but the prototype features the new AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme processor with RDNA 3.5 graphics and up to 32GB of 7500Mhz LPDDR5X RAM. The 8.8-inch OLED display has a refresh rate of up to 144Hz. It seems Lenovo has listened to feedback on its original device, as the prototype sports ergonomic refinements such as rounded Lenovo Legion TrueStrike controllers with a circular D-pad for more accurate inputs. In its current form, the device supports up to 2TB of SSD storage and uses a 74Whr battery. Look for final specifications and more information about the launch of the Lenovo Legion Go 2 to come sometime this year.
The original Lenovo Legion Go debuted in September 2023, and what made it stand out was its detachable controllers, similar to the Nintendo Switch. The right controller, however, can actually be used similarly to a mouse, making the Legion Go a very interesting option for FPS gamers.
