CES 2025: Everything Announced – IGN

CES 2025 has been filled with huge announcements celebrating the latest and greatest you can expect from consumer tech in the coming years. At the annual Las Vegas show the industry comes together to give the rest of the world a sneak peek at products that offer a tantalizing glimpse into the future of tech. But, with hundreds of companies demoing their gadgets on the show floor, it can be tough to weed out the biggest announcements you need to know about.

From Nvidia’s brand new graphics cards to the brand-new OLED gaming monitors set to hit the market this year, we’ve rounded up all tech news you need to know — here’s everything announced at CES 2025.

Nvidia RTX 5000 series GPUs: DLSS 4, GDDR 7, and big performance claims

Nvidia boss Jensen Huang took to the stage at the beginning of the week to show off a brand new generation of graphics cards, the RTX 5000 Blackwell series.

During the keynote we saw glimpses at the RTX 5090, RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti, and RTX 5070. The former two high-end GPUs will be available before the end of January, but the slightly more wallet-friendly variants have no release date attached to them quite yet, with a release window of 2025. The chips come with brand-new hardware, like rapid GDDR7 memory, and a swanky new dual-slot Founder’s Edition cooler design.

Nvidia claims the $549 RTX 5070 will perform on par with an RTX 4090 in certain titles. In a press briefing held after Huang’s CES keynote, an Nvidia representative said: “This does not mean a 5070 can beat a 4090 in every single way,” noting that technology like DLSS 4, which is exclusive to the RTX 5000 series, will bolster those numbers further thanks to its new advanced AI frame generation techniques. As ever, it’s best to wait for independent benchmarks to see if those statements hold up.

Nvidia showed off some other swanky new tech, like Reflex 2, which reduces lag even further in competitive gaming titles, as well as a suite of tools that developers can use, like RTX Neural Shaders, RTX Neural Faces, and RTX Mega Geometry.

AMD RX 9070 series GPUs: Team Red’s midrange competition

AMD, not one to back down from a fight, has announced its latest midrange GPU lineup, named the RX 9070 series. It arrives in two variants: the RX 9070 XT and RX 9070. A new numbering system denotes that the chips are set to go up against Nvidia’s RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 respectively. Curiously, though AMD has officially announced the new GPUs (we even benchmarked one of them), no pricing or release date details have been revealed. It also remains unclear if AMD is to offer a higher-end model to compete with the RTX 5080 and 5090. The new chips will also ship with the latest AI-enhanced upscaler, named FSR 4. In somewhat confusing messaging from AMD, FSR 4 is listed as being “exclusive to the RX 9070 series,” lending credence to the idea that the feature will be locked behind specific chips in its lineup.

Lenovo Legion Go S: the first official third-party SteamOS handheld

Lenovo has been showing off a pair of its brand-new gaming handhelds, which come sporting AMD’s brand new Ryzen Z2 chips. First to land is the Legion Go S, which ships with the Z2 Go chip inside, and can be configured with up to 32GB of RAM, ships with an 8-inch 1200p display, and crucially, is the first handheld to officially ship with SteamOS, the same operating system the Steam Deck uses. An AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme version of the handheld with Windows 11 is set to arrive later this month at $729, while the Z2 Go variant shipping with Windows 11 will cost $599, and the SteamOS-based variant will run just $499 and begin shipping in May 2025.

Acer Nitro Blaze 11: how big is too big for a gaming handheld?

With heaps of gaming handheld news coming out at CES 2025, another device that caught our attention was the Acer Nitro Blaze 11, a gaming handheld that sports an AMD Ryzen 7 8840HS laptop chip, alongside up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 2TB of storage. The twist here is in the display, as the Nitro Blaze 11 will ship with a staggering 11-inch 2560×1600 120Hz IPS display, which really pushes the definition of the term ‘handheld.’ With a 55Wh battery in tow and a staggering weight of 1050g, the Nitro Blaze 11 is hilariously large, something that the promotional imagery cannot escape. The Acer Nitro Blaze 11 will ship in Q2 2025, starting at $1199.

Razer Project Arielle: a gaming chair that warms or cools

Razer is no stranger to a marketing stunt every CES, and this year its cooked up a gaming chair that can dynamically heat of cool you by integrating bladeless fans into its design. The chair itself is based on Razer’s Fujin Pro, and claims to deliver up to 30 degrees Celsius of warm air during the cold winter months. The company states that the bladeless fans can also cool the ambient temperature of the room by two to five degrees.

Heating or cooling is configured via a touch panel on the right-hand side of the seat. Naturally, you can also expect a massive RGB lightstrip placed at the front so you can be warmed with an ominous glow. Project Arielle remains a concept for now, with Razer not having the greatest track record of actually putting any of its concept designs out to market.

ASUS ROG Swift PG27UCDM: a next-gen OLED gaming monitor

ASUS makes some of the best gaming monitors on the planet, and at CES 2025 it announced the ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM. The PG27UCDM boats a 27-inch, 4th generation QD-OLED display, with a 4K resolution and 240Hz refresh rate, and claims to be the “world’s first” 4K QD-OLED 27-inch monitor. Being an OLED panel, it also offers a rapid 0.03ms G2G response time. Its sharp 160ppi density will make the display look fantastic, with new-gen anti-flicker technology.

With full HDR10 support, the display also offers impressive connectivity, like DisplayPort 2.1a support, HDMI 2.1, a USB hub, and a 90W USB-C power delivery connector. And with a three-year warranty for OLED Burn-in, this new gaming monitor offers just about the peak of the technology out right now, and in a desk-perfect 27-inch form factor.

LG G5 and M5 OLED TVs: wireless tech and brighter displays

LG’s newest lineup of consumer TVs includes the high-end G5 and M5 OLED, which come with “four stack” OLED panel tech, which can allow the displays to get brighter than ever before, claiming an increase in panel brightness of 40% when compared to the last-generation G4. It’ll also begin shipping in a 48-inch model, which, confusingly, won’t come with the brand-new panel tech upgrades. Secondly, the OLED M5 lineup lands with a new generation of its wireless technology, with a Zero Connect Box that will loslessly stream any of your HDMI inputs straight to the TV.

LG says the M5 offers a cable-free experience, with “true wireless” that streams a “visual lossless” image from the set-top box, which no longer needs to be in the line of sight of the display itself. With full support for 144Hz, 4K, and VRR (with G-Sync and Freesync support), the M5 OLED could make for a great option for cable-conscious setups.

Sony’s Future Immersive Entertainment Concept: The Last of Us comes to life

At CES, Sony debuted its Future Immersive Entertainment Concept, which is essentially a room filled with Sony Crystal LED panels that visitors can explore and interact with, fully fitted with haptics, audio, and even smells that can immerse its users into experiences. In the demo, a showcase where users can “enter” the world of The Last of Us was showcased. While you might not be able to bring this one home with you, it’s a fresh take on the “immersive” experience that doesn’t rely on VR headsets. We just hope that its smell-o-vision system is a bit more impressive than last year’s GameScent.

PlayStation video game movies level up

At CES, Sony announced movies based on its hit PlayStation games Helldivers 2 and Horizon Zero Dawn, as well as an anime series based on Ghost of Tsushima that debuts exclusively on Crunchyroll in 2027.

And finally… the Nintendo Switch 2 in plain sight?

A mockup of the Nintendo Switch 2 appeared at CES this week — and the company behind it insists it’s based on the real thing.

Gaming accessories maker Genki is showing off its Switch 2 mockup to press at the Consumer Electronics Show, and based on a report from French publication Numerama, it has plenty to say about Nintendo’s unannounced next-gen console.
