Some of the most popular handhelds right now, outside of the Steam Deck, are actually slightly older handhelds than the most current ones. These handhelds, like the ROG Ally, ROG Ally X, and Legion Go. These handhelds use the Z1 or Z1 Extreme APU to power them, and they are decently more powerful than the Deck. However, it seems like support for these APUs is being dropped, which could make it harder to run future games.

According to an update from Lenovo Korea, there will be no more driver updates planned for Legion Go. This insinuates that the drivers for the system, including the APU, are going to be stuck to their current versions with no plans for future versions. According to multiple different user reports, they have been stuck on drivers from August 2025, and there haven't been any updates since.

When it comes to handhelds from Lenovo and ASUS, or other OEMs, they receive driver updates directly from AMD to test and send out for their specific handheld configurations. Now, this could be a case of OEMs not wanting to test specific configurations on their older handhelds or AMD just not sending out drivers. I also checked this on the ROG Xbox Ally X, where the last driver update for the APU was July 21st, 2025.

So, it does seem there is some legitimacy to the claims, and it makes me worried. The Z1 and Z1 Extreme APU has only been around for 2 and a half years, so for support to end so quickly, it is a little worrying. There are lots of handhelds around that use these APUs, so support ending abruptly isn't a vote of confidence for other general APUs like the newer Z2 Extreme.

Unless something changes, it really does seem like driver support for the Z1 handhelds has come to an end, which could leave it out of some important future fixes.
