Lenovo has unveiled the first true Steam Deck alternative with SteamOS... And even an early next-gen Legion Go prototype

A Lenovo Legion Go S with SteamOS held in the hand.

The gaming handheld market has been progressively heating up for a while now, but Lenovo just dropped a firebomb on the whole scene. During CES 2025, Lenovo revealed three new Lenovo Legion handhelds, including the first ever true competitor for Valve's popular Steam Deck and a sneak peek at the next generation of Legion Go gaming.

The Lenovo Legion Go S is a new premium gaming handheld that takes the fight straight to the ASUS ROG Ally with a sleek design, but it doesn't just come with Windows 11. Later this year, gamers will also be able to buy a variant of the Legion Go S running SteamOS, the same specially tailored custom interface currently exclusively used by the Steam Deck. The Legion Go (Gen 2) doesn't have a date yet, but it's coming, too, and it looks great.
