Today is Friday, and you know what that means! A new post was made by Ben Myers on the Legion Go forums, giving us another look into what is coming next for the Lenovo Legion Go. In this update, Ben goes over a new controller firmware update that was released, a list of priorities Lenovo is working on right now, and a tentative date of when the next Legion Space update will be released! There is a solid amount to go over, so I say we dive right in!
To start off this update, Ben gave us more information on the new Legion Space (1.0.2.6) and BIOS (v29) updates and when they will be arriving. The next updates, which will add Fan Curve settings and FPS Limits, among many other improvements, are most likely going to be released within the next three weeks. This is subject to change, but if there are no huge issues found, then we can expect the update by the first week of February.
He also detailed that the BIOS and Legion Space updates need to be released at the same time, since they work hand in hand with each other to implement the new features. So, if there is an issue with one of the elements, we can expect a delay.
Next, Ben goes over some new features and the internal priority to get them out. So far, there are four features that are high on the list:
He also mentions that some of these require more communication between departments, so there may be lower-priority features out before these ones. There is a lot of confidence that these will be released, though, so it’s more of a question of when and not if.
Earlier this week, Lenovo released a controller firmware update that wasn’t in the regular cycle that they had planned. This update focused on addressing some bugs and getting ready for future functionality coming to Legion Space. Here is the changelog for the controller firmware update:
Ben also took a moment to mention that a UI overhaul is something that is being worked on. There are internal discussions about there being reskins or something akin to themes, but it isn’t a high priority right now. He also made a comment about how AMD Fluid Motion Frames is being tested right now in the beta drivers from AMD and that official support for the Legion Go won’t be coming until a little after the stable driver is out.
And finally, this update was concluded with some issues that the Legion Go team is watching out for. These are issues that are either being worked on, have workarounds, or are in their mind and will be releasing a fix soon. While there are some smaller issues being tracked that could be fixed sooner, here are the bigger ones the majority are asking about:
And that’s all for this update! Ben has been doing an incredible job of keeping the community in the loop about what is going on behind the scenes. I commend the Lenovo team for this and highly encourage other manufacturers, like ASUS, to follow this lead. Valve and Lenovo are being extremely vocal and transparent with what is being worked on, and it invokes a lot of confidence in their products.
