Lenovo is preparing to roll out the Legion Go 2, its second-generation handheld gaming PC, with an official launch scheduled for October 2025. The new device builds on the momentum of last year’s original Legion Go, adding upgraded internals and a sleeker design aimed at serious PC gamers on the go.

The Legion Go 2 will ship with AMD’s Ryzen Z2 Extreme processor, paired with an OLED display that promises sharper colors and improved contrast over its predecessor’s LCD panel. Early impressions suggest that Lenovo is positioning this model as a direct competitor to the latest offerings from ASUS and Valve, putting performance and screen quality front and center.

Pricing starts at $1,049 USD, although some outlets report that higher-end configurations could push closer to $1,099. While not the cheapest option in the handheld PC space, Lenovo appears to be banking on premium hardware to justify the cost.

One of the standout features is the ability to detach the controllers, mirroring the flexibility of a Nintendo Switch, but with the horsepower of a gaming laptop. That hybrid design made the first Legion Go a unique entry in the market, and the sequel looks to refine the concept rather than reinvent it.

With an October release window, the Legion Go 2 arrives just in time for the holiday season, when competition in the handheld market is expected to heat up. Valve’s Steam Deck OLED continues to dominate mindshare, and ASUS’ ROG Ally line remains popular, but Lenovo’s latest push could win over players looking for a balance between portability and raw performance.

More details, including exact release dates in different regions, are expected in the coming weeks. For now, it’s clear Lenovo sees handheld PCs as more than a passing trend and the Legion Go 2 may be its boldest attempt yet to claim a slice of the market.
