Lenovo dispels rumors of ending support for the Legion Go

The *PC World* portal reported that Lenovo officially denies recent claims that the company will stop releasing drivers and BIOS updates for the portable gaming console Legion Go, released just over two years ago.

> “Support for Lenovo Legion Go (8.8, 1) has not ended. We continue to actively update the device with necessary drivers and BIOS up until October 2029. Collaboration with AMD ensures regular releases after strict Lenovo testing,” said company representatives.

How the rumors started
Information about a possible withdrawal of support surfaced in connection with news that AMD had halted updates for Ryzen Z1 processors used in the Legion Go. The rumors spread after a statement from Lenovo’s South Korean office mentioning “no plans to further update drivers” for the original console. According to *PC World*, this statement was incorrectly translated or misunderstood by the media.

Why users are concerned
Most likely, concerns stem from the fact that similar portable gaming PCs using the same processors (e.g., Asus ROG Ally) may reach the end of their lifecycle. However, Lenovo emphasized that its plans include support for the Legion Go until 2029.

Conclusion
Lenovo is the world’s largest personal computer manufacturer, and statements from regional offices do not always reflect the headquarters’ position. In this case, it was a misunderstanding of information, and the official company guarantees continued support for the Legion Go.
