• Lenovo has announced the first officially licensed handheld running Steam OS, called the Legion Go S – Powered By Steam OS.
• The new handheld will retail for $499.99 when it goes on sale in May 2025, while the equivalent Windows model is $100 more expensive.

Valve made quite a splash with the Steam Deck back in 2022, and this was in large part due to the Steam OS platform. The Arch Linux-based operating system is officially restricted to the Steam Deck, although unofficial versions and forks exist.
