Lenovo Delays Legion Go 2 Gaming Handheld Due to Overwhelming Demand
Lenovo has announced a delay in the release of its highly anticipated gaming handheld, the Legion Go 2. Preorders, initially set for shipping on September 16, 2025, have been pushed back to October 24, 2025. The company has cited overwhelming demand as the primary reason for the delay.
The Legion Go 2, priced at $1350 in the US and £1500 in the UK, is a PC gaming handheld powered by AMD's Z2 platform, similar to the upcoming Xbox Ally. It features a larger OLED display, detachable joysticks, a trackpad, a kickstand, and a fingerprint reader. Lenovo acknowledged the high price point, stating it's targeted at serious gamers, and suggested those unhappy with the price consider the Legion Go S.
Lenovo has attributed the delay to production issues, with some preorders placed directly on Lenovo.com set to be cancelled due to inventory problems. The company has apologized for the inconvenience and promised to improve its processes for future releases. The Legion Go 2's biggest competitor, the Xbox Ally, is expected to launch on October 16, 2025, at a potentially cheaper price point.
The Lenovo Legion Go 2, despite its delay, remains a highly anticipated gaming handheld. With its advanced features and powerful AMD Z2 platform, it promises an immersive gaming experience. Lenovo has acknowledged the challenges in meeting demand and has committed to improving its processes to avoid similar issues in the future.
