Chapter 3. Get the best gaming experience on your Legion Go

The Legion Space app

Legion Space is an app developed specifically for Legion Go, which helps you manage game resources,
control hardware settings, and check the operational status of the device.
To access the app, type Legion Space in the Windows search box. You can also find the app from the
taskbar.
In this app, you can:
• Manage local games or recently played cloud games.
• Adjust performance settings by switching between different thermal modes, power modes, or fan speeds.
• Set the display brightness, resolution, or refresh rate.
• Configure the key mapping profile for the controllers.
Note: Periodic updates to the Legion Space app may be available through online updates. Features may be
added or modified after updates are installed.

Thermal mode

Several thermal modes are preset in the console. The maximum attainable performance, power
consumption, and speed limit for the heat sink fan vary in different thermal modes.
You can switch between thermal modes in the pre-installed app Legion Space, or by pressing the button
combination of Legion L + Y.
The following table lists the available thermal modes on your console and the recommended conditions for
each mode.
