Overview

  • Windows Latest reports, and GamesRadar+ echoes, that Lenovo plans to unveil a SteamOS Legion Go Gen 2 at CES 2026, though the company has not confirmed the leak.
  • The SteamOS variant is said to retain the Windows model’s specs, including an AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme, up to 32GB LPDDR5X, up to 2TB PCIe storage, and an 8.8-inch OLED display.
  • Coverage frames the OS switch as an effort to improve handheld usability via a gamepad-first interface, quicker suspend-and-resume, and reduced background overhead compared with Windows 11.
  • If accurate, this would be Lenovo’s first handheld to ship with SteamOS preinstalled, following the 7-inch Legion Go S earlier in 2025 that also ran Valve’s platform.
  • Price and availability remain unknown, and reporting notes the current Windows model starts at $1,099 as observers hope a SteamOS edition could cost less.
