Back in September, Lenovo launched the Legion Go handheld console as a competitor to the Steam Deck and Asus ROG Ally consoles. The console has an upper hand over the competition in some aspects, for example, it features hall effect sticks to eliminate the infamous joystick drift issue and minimize dead zones. Months after its initial introduction, the console has finally been made available in the EU. The Lenovo Legion Go console is now available to purchase via the company’s website as well as through Amazon. Availability is still region-dependent. The console has a price tag of € 799. Here’s everything else you need to know about it.
