I asked a Lenovo representative about the Legion Go S (SteamOS) price increase — This is what they told me
Apr 1, 2025
The Legion Go S (SteamOS) gaming handheld is selling for $50 higher than initially revealed. Here's what Lenovo says about that.
That is where we first learned that the company would be releasing a Legion Go S Windows version in a white casing with a starting price of $729.99, followed a few months later (May 25) by a less expensive SteamOS version in a dark purple casing.
This news was especially interesting since the latter is the very first non-Valvegaming handheld to ship with SteamOS on it.
The thing is, I recently noticed that the price for this anticipated SteamOS device seems to have increased.
You see, Lenovo's original press release sent to me in January stated that the starting price for the upcoming SteamOS configuration would be $499.99.
However, the live preorder page at Best Buy shows the starting configuration at $549.99. There's also a $749.99 configuration at Best Buy as well.
The new Legion Go S (SteamOS) gaming handheld is expected to release on May 25, 2025. There are two configurations available for preorder right now.
Now, a $50 increase isn't huge, but it is different enough to feel notable.
I reached out to a Lenovo representative to ask about this price increase; this is what they told me:
"As with many consumer tech products, pricing can vary slightly depending on the retail channel and launch timing. We announced a starting price of $499 to reflect the expected entry point for this product. Final pricing however may vary slightly depending on configuration, channel, and other factors. Retailers may set their own pricing based on their promotional strategies or offers."
