According to SteamOS and Steam Deck co-designer Pierre-Loup Griffais will be in attendance.

“ us for a cocktail reception hosted by Lenovo Legion and AMD gaming leaders, with special guests Valve and other gaming industry giants,” the event description reportedly reads. “We'll be sharing our thoughts on what lies ahead in the gaming handheld space and showcasing our latest Lenovo Legion Go innovations advanced by AMD.”

Lenovo Legion Go S Design Spotted in Leaked Renders

Valve's presence at the event points at Lenovo launching a Lenovo Legion Go S variant running SteamOS instead of Steam button. Last week, tipster Evan Blass shared renders of two different variants of the unannounced handheld on X (formerly Twitter) — a white model that seems to be Windows-based and a black variant that can be seen with Steam button on the left side of the display.

From previously leaked renders, the Lenovo Legion Go S looks like a compact version of Lenovo's first handheld. The device seems to feature a more rounded design and crucially does not come with detachable controllers. Blass also shared images of a second Lenovo Legion Go device last week with The Verge. The larger handheld looks to be the traditional successor to the Legion Go, featuring detachable controllers and an OLED screen.

Based on the reported invitation for its event at CES, Lenovo will likely reveal its slate of handheld devices, including two variants of the Legion Go S and the refreshed variant of the larger Lenovo Legion Go. Some of these handhelds could run on the AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme chip.

Valve Says It Will Bring SteamOS to Asus ROG Ally, Other Handhelds

Back in August, Valve said it would bring SteamOS to Asus ROG Ally and other Windows-based handhelds. The company, which sells its own gaming handheld, the Steam Deck, confirmed it would allow third-party devices to run its Linux-based operating system. SteamOS brings an intuitive console-like interface for the company's digital games storefront, Steam.
