Lenovo Confirms SteamOS Legion Go 2 for June Launch at $1,199

The switch to Valve’s OS targets a console-like handheld experience with better optimization than Windows.

Overview

  • Lenovo is keeping the Legion Go 2’s hardware unchanged while replacing Windows with SteamOS.
  • Configurations top out at an AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme APU with up to 32GB LPDDR5X RAM and 2TB PCIe Gen4 storage alongside a 74Wh battery.
  • The handheld features an 8.8-inch 1920×1200 OLED with 144Hz variable refresh, detachable controllers, a kickstand, and an FPS mouse mode.
  • Coverage highlights expected gains in performance, battery efficiency, and suspend/resume behavior from SteamOS, though Steam Deck–specific optimizations are not guaranteed.
  • SteamOS lacks native biometric support, so the fingerprint reader is unusable on this model, the top-tier pricing remains undisclosed, and the device weighs about 2.2 pounds.
