In the realm of gaming, all attention is directed towards [Lenovo](https://news.lenovo.com/pressroom/press-releases/lenovo-legion-unleashes-next-gen-gaming-power-at-ces-2025/), which has made significant announcements regarding its latest Legion Go S handheld. Shipping for certain models is set to commence later this month, while others are anticipated for release in May.
Here’s a summary of what we know at this point.

### Key Highlights
The Legion Go S represents an enhanced version of last year’s [Legion Go](https://mashable.com/feeds/rss/all), built to be more compact and travel-friendly. Weighing slightly over 1.5 pounds, it’s more convenient to fit into a backpack. Key modifications include a smaller 8-inch FHD display (in contrast to the Legion Go’s 8.8-inch GHD screen) and the removal of detachable controllers. It is also powered by the latest AMD Ryzen Z2 Go CPU.
In numerous respects, the Legion Go S conveys the feeling of a “lite” version of its forerunner.
A particularly thrilling addition is the launch of a SteamOS model, making it the first third-party handheld to utilize SteamOS apart from Valve’s own [Steam Deck](https://mashable.com/review/steam-deck-oled). Nonetheless, while the version running Windows will be available later this month, the SteamOS variant is not expected until May.

The Windows-based model is scheduled to launch in January, whereas the SteamOS variant is anticipated in May.
