Lenovo reveals a SteamOS variant of the Legion Go 2 at CES

Should you noticed Lenovo’s Legion Go 2 launch final 12 months and thought, “I am going to await the SteamOS model,” nicely, you will have to attend a little bit longer. However at the least now it is official. At CES 2026, the corporate revealed the Legion Go 2, Powered by SteamOS. The Valve-friendly variant of the gaming handheld arrives in June, beginning at a dear $1,199.

There are no surprises right here. It is the identical Lenovo Legion Go 2 {hardware}, with SteamOS changing the sometimes-awkward Home windows. In some ways, you can view the SteamOS Legion Go 2 as a extra highly effective and versatile (and costly!) Steam Deck. One notable exception is the optimizations sport builders typically make for Valve’s handheld. (Ditto for “Steam Deck Verified” badges on retailer listings to be taught rapidly how playable video games are.)

So, all of the specs from the Home windows model carry over. That features a spacious 8.8-inch OLED show at 1,920 x 1,200 and with a 144Hz VRR. You continue to have two tiers to select from: Ryzen Z2 / 16GB / 1TB or Ryzen Z2 Excessive / 32GB / 2TB. The system has a microSD slot, kickstand, removable controllers and a 74Wh battery. At 2.2 lbs, it is a cumbersome affair, so you will wish to look elsewhere if a light-weight, compact handheld is your precedence.

Lenovo says the Legion Go 2, Powered by SteamOS is anticipated in June. It can begin at $1,199 for the entry-level variant. (Lenovo hasn’t but introduced pricing for the Z2 Excessive tier.) You’ll be able to revisit Sam Rutherford’s evaluate of the Home windows model for way more on the {hardware}.
