TECH NEWS – According to a recent report, a new handheld device for PC gaming is in development that is set to challenge the dominance of Steam Deck.

 

 

If recent reports are accurate, a new handheld PC gaming device is in development that could rival Steam Deck.

Since its launch, several other devices have entered the market to challenge Valve’s device: most recently, the Ayaneo KUN was revealed as the latest soon-to-be-launched competitor to the Steam Deck.

Other devices are available for purchase or in development. Still, it seems that Steam Deck stands its ground as the most significant player in the field. It is the product against which all others are measured. It is pretty telling that most handheld PC gaming systems are still presented as rivals to SD. Now it seems that another one is in the pipeline.

A new report reveals that Lenovo is currently working on its own competitor to Steam Deck, dubbed Legion Go. This new device will reportedly be designed for PC gaming with Windows 11 operating system. It will have an 8-inch screen, with Phoenix processors from AMD. A release date for the Legion Go has not yet been set. But if the rumoured specs are correct, it could plausibly be a viable challenger to the Steam Deck when it is released.

Excited players should remember that this report is currently limited in detail. The information has been obtained from anonymous sources. As such, the new tool and specific information are far from certain. Until Lenovo makes an official announcement, observers should be cautious about what they take for granted.

On the other hand, Lenovo is no stranger to the PC gaming market, having previously produced gaming laptops. Furthermore, the handheld PC market seems to be a growing business at the moment, and it would not be surprising if more companies jump in.

Steam Deck already has another big competitor, and more will soon follow. Lenovo could also be another rival in the future.

For now, Valve seems to be holding its own among the competitors. Solid performance and a large selection of great Steam Deck games should keep fans happy. However, the future is uncertain, and if the rumours are true, gamers may soon be asking what the next Legion Go rival could be when talking about handheld consoles.
