Gaming Handhelds at CES 2025
Portable gaming!
Valve, the company behind Steam, the largest PC game store in the world, made waves when they released the Steam Deck in 2022. It functioned like a Nintendo Switch but ran a custom OS called SteamOS, based on Linx, and could run significantly more demanding games. Since then, they’ve released a slightly updated version, but Steam OS has remained a Steam Deck-only operating system. No longer!
At CES 2025, Lenovo showed off the Legion Go S, the first third-party handheld console to use SteamOS. Acer also revealed the Nitro Blaze 11, a massive 11” handheld console with specs and a price to match.
