Lenovo Legion Go 2 is now up to double the price of ROG Xbox Ally X after yet another increase
Table of Contents
One of the biggest losers in the memory crisis right now is the Lenovo Legion Go 2, which has seen multiple price hikes since launch. The device originally launched at $1,350, but its price has continued to climb over the past few months.
The ongoing memory crisis in the tech industry is making it harder for companies to keep product prices stable. We’ve already seen GPUs, RAM, and even consoles get more expensive, and handheld gaming devices are being affected as well.
Legion Go 2 sees a massive $650 increase over MSRP
Lenovo’s Legion Go 2 with 1TB storage and AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme processor is now listed at $1,999.99 on Best Buy. That’s a massive $650 increase from its original MSRP. The previous price jump had already pushed it to $1,849, and while it remains at that price right now on B&H Photo Video (for the 2TB model no less), we can expect it to rise there too if stock is depleted.

Prices correct as of October 9th, 2026.
This new price puts the Legion Go 2 out of reach for a lot of players. It was already considered a premium device, but at $2,000, it’s no longer something most handheld gamers will consider. At this point, the device now costs almost twice as much as the ROG Xbox Ally X, making it one of the most expensive handhelds on the market. The 1TB model is still $999.99 on Best Buy – the very same price that it launched at back in October last year.
Lenovo has not officially explained why the price keeps going up, but the reason is pretty clear. RAM and SSD shortages are driving up the cost of these key components, making it harder for manufacturers to maintain original pricing. This has affected the entire industry, as several handheld makers have either increased prices or delayed future releases.
It’s not just handhelds either, as even Sony recently raised prices for the PS5, PS5 Pro, and PlayStation Portal. Speculation points towards the Switch 2 being affected too, though Nintendo has managed to hold off any price hikes for now.
