The Lenovo Legion Go 2 is Launching in October, Starting at $1,099

The Lenovo Legion Go 2 was previewed all the way back at CES 2025, at the same time as the AMD Z2 Extreme that will power it. However, Lenovo is finally letting it loose on the world in October 2025 – though we still don’t know exactly when.

The new handheld gaming PC will be available in two different configurations, one with the base AMD Z2 APU, and one with the more powerful Z2 Extreme – which will also be powering the Asus Xbox ROG Ally X. Lenovo has shared specs, with the company pairing the Z2 Extreme with ‘up to’ 32GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD. However, the $1,099 model will come with the base Z2 APU paired with the same 16GB of RAM that the original Legion Go had.

But the most eye-catching improvement this time around is the display. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 has a 1200p OLED display. That is a lower resolution than the original Legion Go, but the upgrade to an OLED panel should make up for that a bit. Plus, one of the biggest complaints I had about the original Legion Go when I reviewed it was that it wasn’t quite powerful enough to power a 1600p display, so the downgrade to 1200p will probably make the system run a bit more smoothly.

There will be an element of sticker shock, though, with the Legion Go 2 starting at $1,099. That’s just for the regular Z2 model, with the Z2 Extreme version obviously costing more, starting at $1,349. And if you want one that’s absolutely maxed out, you’re looking at a price of $1,479. To put that in context, the first-generation Legion Go launched at $699 back in October 2023. Thanks to the new chipset, these handhelds should have a sizable bump in gaming performance, but whether or not that’ll be worth the price increase is something we’ll have to wait and see when we get it in the lab for review.
