Overview

  • Lenovo Korea confirmed there are no further driver update plans for the original Legion Go and directed owners to Windows Update, AMD’s universal drivers, and Lenovo Vantage.
  • The company cautioned that BIOS and drivers for the Legion Go and the newer Legion Go S are not compatible and should not be installed interchangeably.
  • Outlets and community posts report that devices using AMD’s Ryzen Z1 Extreme, including ASUS ROG Ally and ROG Ally X, appear to have gone months without new drivers, with one support page showing a last patch on August 6, 2025.
  • AMD has not issued an official statement confirming any end to Z1 Extreme driver support, and reporters say they have requested comment.
  • Some newer Z2-based handhelds are still receiving updates according to reports, though the broader scope across OEMs and models remains uncertain.
