The Lenovo Legion Go 2 is getting a SteamOS version, four months after the Windows-powered handheld was introduced at IFA Berlin. At CES 2026 on Tuesday, Lenovo unveiled a SteamOS variant of its second-generation gaming handheld. The device carries the same hardware specifications as the Windows-based Legion Go 2, except it runs Valve's SteamOS. Lenovo said that the new variant is expected to be available from June 2026.
My initial hours spent rolling my eyes at everything Lenovo failed to fix from its first iteration slowly morphed into the kind of appreciation that can only occur when a device starts to feel personal. It's what happened when I downloaded Hollow Knight: Silksong and Hades II to the device and had to hold back a gasp on a crowded plane for how gorgeous both games looked on Lenovo's big, expensive, beautiful display.
Lenovo Legion Go 2, the Windows-based gaming handheld announced last week at IFA Berlin, will get the new Xbox interface present on the Asus ROG Xbox Ally devices. The Legion Go 2 will be the first handheld outside Asus to come with the custom OS experience that aims to keep Windows operations in the background, Lenovo confirmed Friday after the revealing the device. The Xbox full-screen experience, announced alongside the ROG Xbox Ally handhelds, will come to Lenovo's new handheld next year.
