Yesterday, Evan Blass posted new pictures of the Legion Go S, which many think is Lenovo's upcoming gaming handheld following last year's Legion Go. He also gave a sneak peek at the Legion Glasses 2. Interestingly, Blass might have hinted that something a bit different is happening.
New Colorway and Features
At first sight, it seemed like Blass had introduced the Legion Go S in a new color for the first time. Sadly, the finer details were hard to distinguish. In contrast, Blass released clearer images of the same pictures shared with The Verge, where a button that seems to be specifically for Steam is noticeable.
Software and Pricing Insights
On the other hand, the white model features a shortcut for launching Lenovo's Legion Space software, similar to the original Legion Go (currently priced at $499.99 on Amazon). As a result, sources like The Verge and VideoCardz have suggested that this dark grey version will likely operate on a variant of SteamOS by default instead of Windows.
Future of Gaming Handhelds
So far, no solid evidence has come out to support this assumption. Nevertheless, it seems that Valve is getting closer to officially backing the ROG Ally with a version of SteamOS. This means it’s not entirely out of the question that this software support could also extend to other manufacturers of Windows gaming handhelds, including Lenovo. However, there has been no indication of dedicated SteamOS options for the Steam Deck appearing anytime soon.
