The Lenovo Legion Go S handheld gaming PC, presented at CES 2025, was initially set at $499.99, making it a strong contender against the Steam Deck. However, preorders have pushed the price to $549.99. Despite notable features like Hall effect joysticks and an 8-inch screen, its Ryzen Z2 Go chip did not outperform the Steam Deck during tests. With Valve entering the space with support for additional devices, the heavier price tag for the Legion Go S could dampen its appeal in the growing market for SteamOS handhelds.
The SteamOS-powered Legion Go S debuted at CES 2025 with a competitive $499.99 price tag, but later preorders saw a price increase to $549.99.
Despite its appealing design and upgraded features, the Legion Go S's Ryzen Z2 Go chip underperformed compared to the Steam Deck in testing.
The launch of the Legion Go S at a higher price makes the third-party SteamOS handheld market less enticing, especially with Valve also supporting other devices.
Even though the situation with the Legion Go S isn't ideal with its price hike, third-party developers including Asus are also stepping into the SteamOS handheld arena.
