Lenovo is set to host a gaming handheld showcase on January 7, 2024, where Valve's Pierre-Loup Griffais, a key figure in the development of SteamOS and the Steam Deck, will be present.

During this event, Lenovo is expected to unveil three new revisions of the Legion Go, with one model featuring a button that showcases the Steam logo, suggesting potential integration with SteamOS.

This move positions Lenovo as the first original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to support SteamOS, as indicated by their recent announcements and invitations sent to CES attendees.

The upcoming Legion Go models are anticipated to be powered by AMD's Ryzen Z2 APU platform, which promises significant performance enhancements over current handheld PCs.

Valve is planning to expand its SteamOS Linux distribution to devices beyond the Steam Deck, although no specific timeline has been provided for this rollout.

Hints about Valve's plans to broaden the availability of SteamOS have emerged through recent branding updates and speculation regarding a revival of the Steam Machines project.

SteamOS is designed to offer a user-friendly interface for managing games and system settings, serving as an alternative to the more commonly used Windows operating system in portable PCs.

Additionally, Microsoft's Jason Ronald will be attending Lenovo's CES event, amid ongoing development of a Microsoft handheld device expected to launch several years from now.
