Lenovo Legion Go 2 SteamOS Version Revealed at CES 2026, Will Be Available From June 2026

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.

This is the second SteamOS-powered handheld from Lenovo after the Lenovo Legion Go S, which was introduced a year ago at CES 2025. By ditching Windows, the new variant of the Legion Go 2 promises “desktop-class performance with console-like ease”.

While the SteamOS version of the Legion Go 2 won't offer the versatility of a Windows-based handheld, it will bring intuitive access to a user's Steam library, cloud saves, Steam Chat, and other features like quick suspend/resume.
