Overview
- On Tuesday, August 4, Lenovo listed the Legion Go S with SteamOS for $635.54 at its online store when customers used promo code EXTRASAVEAFF.
- That price is about $501 less than a prior Lenovo listing of roughly $1,137 and is far below Best Buy’s near-$1,000 listing, representing roughly a 44% reduction.
- Valve’s Steam Deck OLED has seen its own recent price increases and is currently listed around $789 for the 512GB model, keeping it pricier than Lenovo’s promo price.
- Reviewers agree the SteamOS build of the Legion Go S is more appealing than the Windows build, but benchmark coverage is mixed with some outlets saying the Z2 Go outperforms the older Deck OLED and others saying performance is similar.
- Because memory and storage costs have pushed 2026 MSRPs higher, short-term promo codes and retailer-specific sales are now a key way consumers can find value and may influence buying choices and competitor pricing in the weeks ahead.
