Insiders that remain anonymous have shared substantial information to Windows Central which recently reported the plans of Lenovo to bring a handheld gaming console called Legion Go. This is the company's first entry into the handheld PC gaming console industry, one that is dominated by the likes of Valve, ASUS, and more.
This corroborates the previous report from Liliputing back in 2021 which talked about a portable gaming device called Lenovo Legion Play, a device that never launched.
Still, it remains unknown if this device was a result of the Legion Play's repurposing or an entirely new creation from Lenovo. Moreover, Windows Central noted that Legion Go would have a similar design to the Legion Play from before.

The device would also feature a standard 8-inch display as found on other portable consoles in the market.
For now, there are no indications of when it would release to the public.
The Portable, Handheld Gaming Consoles Now
Portable gaming consoles are the massive trend now, and this was because of the efforts from Nintendo with its Switch, as well as Valve's Steam Deck. The gaming trend has come from PC gaming, to console, to smartphone or mobile phone gaming, then circling back to PC and console, now seeing its latest contender, the handheld consoles.
Different companies are looking to enter the handheld gaming console market after the massive success of Nintendo and Valve. One of the most notable devices now is the latest ASUS ROG Ally which was said to feature a great processing speed, with its only problem being its battery capacity.
Earlier this year, during the heat of the Microsoft vs. FTC trial, the former leaked the upcoming "Project Q" handheld gaming console of Sony.
Despite the smaller hype for portable handheld gaming consoles now, these are still relevant and more companies are looking to join the craze. Lenovo is the latest to join says the report, with its Legion Go soon to provide a portable gaming experience on Ryzen and Windows 11.
