"Now, Lenovo's doing it again - it's bringing SteamOS to the Legion Go 2, its flagship handheld with detachable Nintendo Switch-like controllers and the most advanced screen in a handheld yet. Lenovo plans to begin selling a SteamOS version in June starting at $1,199, the company just announced at CES 2026 in Las Vegas. Specs are otherwise the same."
"But simply switching from Windows to SteamOS can offer a notable performance boost, too, and the Legion Go 2 isn't just premium because of an AMD chip. As of this writing, it's the only handheld on the market with a variable-refresh-rate OLED screen to make games look amazing and one of the few that doubles as a tablet, with an excellent integrated kickstand and comfortable sculpted detachable wireless controllers for tray table play."
Lenovo will release a SteamOS version of the Legion Go 2 in June starting at $1,199, with identical hardware to the existing Windows model. The SteamOS build may improve gaming performance compared with Windows, though price and battery life remain concerns. The Legion Go 2 features an AMD Z2 Extreme chip, detachable Nintendo Switch-like controllers with an integrated FPS mouse and snap-on puck, an excellent kickstand, and a variable-refresh-rate OLED screen that supports tablet-style play. The SteamOS launch arrives seven to eight months after the Windows release, potentially exposing the device to newer competitor chips.
