Lenovo Reveal SteamOS on the Legion Go 2

Let’s be real—Lenovo just dropped a SteamOS version of the Legion Go 2, and it’s basically the “I don’t wanna deal with Windows” upgrade we didn’t know we needed.

The Legion Go 2 was already the sleek, expensive king of handhelds—detachable controllers that double as FPS mice? VRR OLED screen? AMD Z2 chip? Yeah, it’s basically a gaming console that also runs your tax software. But now, instead of wrestling with Windows 11 updates and bloatware, you get SteamOS: lean, fast, and “just works.” No dual-booting. No driver headaches. Just boot up, launch Elden Ring, and pretend you’re on a Switch… if the Switch could run Cyberpunk at 120fps.

Price? Still $1,199.99. Oof. But hey—if you’ve ever stared at a Windows update progress bar while your game was supposed to start, this might be worth the splurge. And with Xbox’s Full Screen Experience already sneaking onto the device, we’re living in a world where handhelds are basically little Windows/Linux/Xbox hybrids. Who knew?

So… SteamOS or stick with Windows? The real question is: can you resist a handheld that turns your living room into a retro-futuristic gaming cave? (Spoiler: No. You can’t.)
