Live coverage of all the biggest tech, AI and gadget news from Las Vegas
It’s time for the largest tech conference every year. Today may not be the official first day of CES 2025, but it is a media day, meaning many companies are holding their press conferences to show off their latest products. CES usually sets the stage for each year, and judging by everything that’s already been announced so far, AI will continue to find its way into every possible corner of our lives.
Engadget’s team has already landed in Las Vegas and begun the hard work of scouring the floral-carpeted show floors to find the most interesting products being shown off here. We’ll be giving out awards for our best things at CES 2025, but before we make those decisions, there’s a lot more to see and touch.
If you want to live vicariously through us, there is no better place to keep up than our liveblog, which will be updated regularly throughout today. You can also tune in for our live coverage of all of the biggest press conferences happening today, including LG, Samsung, Sony and NVIDIA. Keep your browser tab open here, and you might feel like you’re right in Vegas, surrounded by weird robots!

Everything you missed on Day One of CES 2025
For a more comprehensive recap, check out our summary of the biggest highlights from yesterday to learn more about what you might have missed from Day 1 of CES 2025. Hint: It’s a lot of TVs, robots and saliva.
As a quick recap, yesterday’s biggest news spanned many product categories, but AI was the main area of focus. NVIDIA’s two-hour-long keynote last night saw the company’s CEO Jensen Huang go over announcements in AI, automotive, more AI (in the form of language models), RTX 50-series graphics processors and more. Here’s a quick pair of articles we published to help you catch up:
Unlike yesterday, which was full of press conferences every hour, we don’t expect to be covering many individual keynotes. In fact, the show floor officially opens today, meaning we can somehow get through the construction outside the Las Vegas Convention Center and see the massive booths that await us inside.
Good morning and welcome to day 2 of Engadget’s CES 2025 liveblog! Thanks for joining us today as we bring you updates directly from Las Vegas, where the world’s largest annual tech conference is taking place. Our on-the-ground team has already been here for two days (though it feels like a year) and collectively our entire team has covered multiple press conferences and pretty much all the biggest news we expect to see from this year’s CES. From now till this evening (Vegas time), we will highlight the most important and interesting products and announcements as we roam the staticky, carpeted floors of the convention center and various hotels. Stick around, there may be surprises in store!
We’re going to wrap this liveblog up for the day, but join us tomorrow bright and early at 8am ET, where we will continue to share more from CES 2025. For now, keep checking our home page for any news that our team will publish round the clock.
Thanks very much to Devindra for liveblogging us through that long, roughly two-hour keynote. Most of the Engadget CES 2025 team is currently at Pepcom, where we’re taking a look at more gadgets that companies around the world have brought here to Las Vegas. Already, there’s a set of headphones that caught my attention. They’ll squirt water in your ears, then heat them to dry them. Wild.
Looks like we’re wrapping up, thanks for joining us folks! Hopefully we’ll have some hands-on time with the RTX 5000 GPUs this week!
