Lenovo quietly drops Legion Space 2.1 update that finally frees restricted LOQ laptops

Lenovo has started pushing Legion Space 2.1, the next major version of its control hub for Legion and LOQ gaming hardware, without a public announcement. Version 2.1.11.31 was installed automatically on our retail LOQ 15IRX10 with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU between November 11 and 12, 2026. Windows lists the app at 546 MB, with Lenovo PC HK Limited as the publisher.

The build has not reached Lenovo’s support site. The Legion Space download page for laptops and desktops (DS572220) still lists version 1.9.11.5, dated March 31, 2026, as the latest public release. We found no changelog, press release, or social media post from Lenovo about the new version.

A model Lenovo listed under an older build

Where the update landed is the most interesting part. Lenovo’s download page groups the LOQ 15IRX10 with four other LOQ models, the LOQ 15AHP10, LOQ 15AHP11, LOQ 15ARP10E, and LOQ 17IRX10, under a separate 1.8.12.9 package, citing system configuration. Our unit received version 2.1.11.31 regardless.

Lenovo has not said whether it has lifted that restriction for all five models or whether version 2.1 is reaching devices in stages. The company also distributes Legion Space separately for its Legion Go handhelds, and its support site lists version 1.3.4.5 for the Legion Go 2, so it is not yet clear whether 2.1 will reach those devices too.

What the 2.1 build includes

Lenovo has not published release notes, so we can only describe what we found on our unit. The System Settings tab carries a redesigned FPS counter that sits in a small dark box, with a grey “FPS” label beside the live figure. It can be set to a horizontal or vertical layout in small, standard, or large font sizes. It can also be pinned to one of eight positions: top left, top center, top right, middle left, middle right, bottom left, bottom center, or center. A preview diagram shows where the counter will appear across a primary and secondary screen.

Below the counter settings sits a crosshair overlay. It offers five reticle styles, including a chevron, two open crosses, a classic cross and a center dot, plus an option to switch it off. Players can pick from eight colors, ranging from orange and cyan to magenta and green, and adjust the reticle with a size slider.

The Services & Utilities tab leads with warranty upgrade offers covering Priority Parts & Labor Service, Expert Phone Support, and Comprehensive Hardware & Software Support. On our unit, it also showed a 15 percent discount code, LEGION15, for Lenovo services including Warranty Upgrade, Smart Performance, and Smart Lock. Further down, the tab adds Optimize Memory and Startup Programs shortcuts, along with a Support section linking to how-to guides, Legion Space software support, and PC hardware support.

How to check your version

Legion and LOQ owners can confirm their installed build on the About screen in Legion Space (on our unit, it reads V2.1.11.31) or under Installed apps in Windows Settings. Lenovo has not said when version 2.1 will appear on its support site.
