Black Friday is next week. But retailers have thrown out the calendar and are slashing prices already. An early Black Friday deal drops the Lenovo Legion Go S to its lowest price ever, at least for this particular model.
Right now, you can pick up a Lenovo Legion Go S for $449.99. That's a 31% discount that drops the price of the gaming handheld by $200.
The $200 discount on the Lenovo Legion Go S brings the gaming handheld to the lowest price we've seen. The model that's on sale is powered by an AMD Ryzen Z2 Go processor, has 512GB of storage and 16GB of RAM, and runs SteamOS.
Due to the uncertain nature of tech prices in 2025, the Black Friday deal on the Legion Go S may not seem as substanial as similar deals in previous years. The Legion Go S with a Z2 Go was supposed to cost $499.99 at launch. But Lenovo raised the price of the console.
This is the most affordable Legion Go S, making it a great choice for entry-level gaming. The Z2 Go inside can handle 2D platformers and less graphically demanding games well, but it shouldn't be expected to handle the latest AAA games like its more expensive counterparts do.
SteamOS makes the Legion Go S feel more like a console due to its clean user interface. In contrast, Windows can feel clunky on a device of this size, though Microsoft is working on that with the Xbox Full Screen Experience.

Normally, the price of the Legion Go S is a drawback when compared to some rivals that also run SteamOS, but the $200 discount on the gaming handheld reduces that gap significantly.
Handheld gaming PCs are great for playing games on the go, but they're also a comfortable way to play your favorite games while sitting on the sofa or lying in bed. With retailers kicking off Black Friday early, you don't need to wait to grab the Legion Go S at a discount.
Gaming handheld FAQ
Does the Legion Go S run Windows?
No, or at least this version does not. The model on sale here runs SteamOS. There are Windows-based models available, but many prefer SteamOS on a gaming handheld because the operating system is optimized for the form factor.
How powerful is Legion Go S?
The model highlighted here runs on a Z2 Go processor. That chip is good for 2D platformers and less graphically demanding games, but it will not handle the latest AAA titles as well as more expensive hardware.
The Lenovo Legion Go S with an AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor is also on sale right now. Its $250 discount drops that model to $649.99.
