The second-generation Lenovo Legion Go handheld devices have already received a substantial price increase after their initial launch, with the entry-level Legion Go S jumping from $899.99 and $649.99 to $1,579.99 and $989.99, for the Z1 Extreme and Z2 Go models, respectively. This was after Lenovo already increased the price on the AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme-powered Legion Go 2 from $1,349.99 to $1,999.99. Now, the same Legion Go 2 with 32 GB of RAM and 2 TB of storage that previously jumped to $2,849 can now be found on the Lenovo US online store for $3,081.99.
This is a $233 price jump that corresponds to around 8% of the total previous price, although the Legion Go 2 with 1 TB of memory can still be found at Best Buy for $1,999.99. The latest price increase for the Legion Go 2 comes as the gaming handheld continues to be out of stock at Lenovo, despite partner stores, like Best Buy, having stock of the handhelds. Lenovo hasn't yet announced the price hike for the Legion Go, but it seems reasonable to assume the price increase is linked to the ongoing RAMpocalypse that has repeatedly affected pricing across various PC hardware segments—but most severely RAM and DRAM.
There could also be a link between this price hike and recent news that AMD was planning to increase prices for its GPUs, chipsets, and potentially CPUs. That price increase was originally seemingly planned for Q4 2026, which aligns with the mid-October price increase, suggesting those lower Legion Go 2 Best Buy prices will only last as long as there is stock available at those prices.
