A new report from Totally Human Media reveals that nearly 20 percent of video games released on Steam in 2025 use generative AI.

The report from Totally Human, which uses machine learning and generative AI to recommend games, books, shows, and movies, reported that approximately 7,818 games on Steam disclosed using Generative AI. That represents about 7 percent of the entire available Steam library. For games released on the platform in 2025, just under 20 percent — or about 1 in 5 games — utilized AI, or disclosed doing so, at least.

In total, that's a nearly 700 percent increase in games that use generative AI on Steam, according to Totally Human Media's 2024 report on the same subject.

Game Rant reported that the most popular game to make that Generative AI disclosure is My Summer Car, a vehicle simulation game that lets users build, fix, tune, and perform maintenance to their car. It has sold 2.5 million units, Game Rant reported. The disclosure reads, "The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this: There are some AI generated paintings found inside the main house."

It looks like Totally Human gathered this data from Steam itself, which has required game developers to disclose the use of Generative AI since January 2024. Valve Corporation, the company that owns Steam, did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Mashable.

In a Reddit thread about the Totally Human article, many commenters said if a game uses AI, that game will automatically go in their "ignore" list.

"We need to tag them so they can be an ignored category," one user wrote.

"More and more Steam games are going on my Ignore list," another user wrote.

In general, even commenters who weren't completely against AI in games wrote that they were turned off by the move.

"So many cool games in the steam next fest immediately put me off when I realized they were using GenAI. Pay artists ffs," another person commented.

Although, there is nuance for many Steam users.

"Not surprised in this day and age. Everyone at every company is pushing for AI usage, not surprise the gaming industry as a whole is also pushing for it," one user commented on Reddit. "So far AI assets are pretty easy to spot as you no doubt already know but I get the sentiment of 'what am I paying for if its all AI' and agree with it. I guess I don't mind AI usage for simple things like UI elements or unit cards, simple stuff."

TL;DR: Hurry and grab lifetime access to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more with a Microsoft Office 2019 license for Windows at A$30 through 20 July.

Your credit card is exhausted from all of today’s subscription fees. While you probably don’t want to cancel Peacock and never see the ending of Yellowstone or say goodbye to two-day shipping with Prime, you could swap your Microsoft 365 subscription for a Microsoft Office lifetime license.

Instead of spending A$10 monthly (or A$106 yearly), you can pay once and use the apps as much as you’d like. For a little while longer, the Windows software suite is on sale for A$30 until 20 July.

What apps are included?

Microsoft Office 2019 isn’t the newest version available, but it’s the cheaper one for people who just need to use the apps and don’t care about what they look like inside. However, it does have a classic, timeless design.

Here's a list of the apps you get:

• Word

• Excel

• PowerPoint

• Outlook

• OneNote

• Publisher

• Access

Differences between Microsoft 365 and a lifetime license

This purchase is a no-brainer if you aren’t taking full advantage of Microsoft 365’s OneDrive storage, mobile app access, and cloud-based backups. Those just wanting the apps should be more than comfortable with a Microsoft Office download.

You might actually like this license more than the subscription. The apps are downloaded directly onto your PC instead of hosted on the cloud. While this does mean there are no built-in cloud backups, you don’t have to worry about the hassle of trying to work offline.

Plus, now that Microsoft added Copilot’s AI features to Microsoft 365, you might be looking for a way to escape them. Not everyone is crazy about having a virtual robot interfere with their work, and these classic apps won’t ever bug you about it.

The price drop on this lifetime license to Microsoft Office 2019 for Windows ends in three days, so get your download for A$30 until 20 July at 11:59 p.m. PT.

Google's AI-generated summaries have claimed another piece of search territory: the Discover feed.

Google confirmed to TechCrunch, which first spotted the change, that AI Overviews are rolling out to the news feed on the Google app for iOS and Android. We also spotted a few AI Overviews on the Discover feed when testing it out on the iOS app. Typically, the personalized news feed shows headlines of stories from a variety of outlets, curated by your search history.

In the instances we found, AI Overviews present a summary of a news story that's been covered by several outlets, indicated by the publisher logos in the upper left-hand corner. Clicking into the module shows a list of the different stories.

Google said AI Overviews in the Discover feed would focus on sports and entertainment, but we found an example of an AI-generated summary for a politics story. Credit: Screenshot: Mashable / Google

The launch of Overviews in the Discover feed joins of the growing list of places in Google Search with AI-generated summaries directly on the page. It started with summaries at the top of the search page, with very mixed results, and has grown to include summaries in the People Also Ask (PAA in SEO terms) section of search results. During Google I/O 2025, the company said its AI Overviews now reach more than 1.5 billion people per month. More recently, Google introduced AI Mode, an alternative to traditional search that provides answers through an AI chatbot powered by the Gemini model.

While Google continues to minimize reports that its generative AI features are negatively impacting publisher traffic, many publishers are seeing ongoing losses. The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, and others have reported a significant decline in organic search traffic, as have other major news outlets and even independent bloggers. A 2025 analysis from SimilarWeb had similar findings, reporting a 26 percent decrease in organic search traffic since the launch of AI Overviews.

A Google spokesperson told TechCrunch that AI Overviews in the Discover feed is launching in the U.S. and will focus on lifestyle topics like sports and entertainment. That said, the AI-generated summaries we found were about hard news topics like the BBC's documentary about the war in Gaza and Mike Waltz's Senate confirmation for his UN ambassadorship.

Google did not immediately respond to request for comment on which topics will be summarized by generative AI.

There's no keeping a good killer down. If there's one thing slasher films have taught us in the decades they've been hacking across our movie screens it's that it doesn't matter how many times you shoot 'em in the head – they're always popping up for one more scare. Or years' worth of more scares, even. And with the recent revival of the Scream franchise it was only a matter of time before other entries in the late '90s slasher boom slipped into their ol' rain slickers and got back to doing what they do best.

Enter I Know What You Did Last Summer, Do Revenge director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson's fun, frisky, and diabolically silly legacy sequel to Jim Gillespie and Kevin Williamson's identically-titled 1997 film. Exactly like the 2022 Scream "re-quel" we're here introduced to a fresh crop of pretty young things who suddenly find themselves on an extremely recognizable killer's chopping block. And like the Woodsboro teens, these youths must also seek out the battle-scarred survivors of the earlier franchise (our old pals Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr) to decipher whodunit, before they all find themselves fish food.

Even with its own hook, I Know What You Did Last Summer always lived in Scream's gigantic ghost-faced shadow, so it's only right and honest for the new film to go ahead and embrace such xeroxed shenanigans. It's entirely true to the spirit of the franchise. However, it does offer a new surprises.

Despite technically being a sequel to 1998's I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, 2025's I Know What You Did Last Summer kicks things off with a first act that might have you wondering if we're not just watching a full-on remake of the original. Gang of teens parties in the fishing village of Southport, North Carolina. Gang of teens accidentally kills somebody. Gang of teens covers it up and makes a pact to never speak of it again until gang of teens starts getting hunted down by a hook-wielding maniac with a predilection for fancy stationery. You know, the greatest hits. Same old!

In Robinson's film, the core gang has been aged up. In their mid-twenties, these are former high school besties reuniting for the engagement party of their most esteemed (i.e. rich as hell) pals. First, we meet Ava (the extremely likeable Chase Sui Wonders from Bodies Bodies Bodies), arriving back in her haunted hometown of Southport, after a few years away. The thing is, Southport ain't so cursed anymore. The decades since we were last here in the original film watching teenagers put on ice have been extremely good to the town. It's now a shining jewel of the Eastern seaboard, mostly thanks to the vulturish real estate efforts of the mega-wealthy Grant Spencer (Billy Campbell). He swooped in when prices were low (due to that aforementioned teen slaughtering) and gave the place a proper glow up. (Horror movies and real life agree: real estate developers will always be the real villains.)

It's Grant's strapping son Teddy (Tyriq Withers, Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead) who's getting hitched — or as the banner above the party's entrance puts it, "hooked," wink wink — to former beauty queen and Ava's BFF Danica (Outer Banks' Madelyn Cline). Add on Ava's former flame Milo (Jonah Hauer-King, The Little Mermaid's Prince Eric) and everybody's estranged townie friend Stevie (Sarah Pidgeon, Tiny Beautiful Things) who's unexpectedly working the party. We've now been introduced to our new core gang, some of whom will obviously not make it out of this town alive.

Like the original I Know What You Did Last Summer, a hit-and-run seals the fates of the film's characters. However, this re-creation of the famous scene plays out with surprises, giving us our first taste of the smorgasbord of tricks Robinson's got up her directorial sleeve. Her script (co-written by Sam Lansky and Leah McKendrick) is just playful enough with our expectations to keep things lively, marching to its own loony beat even while stepping through familiar tracks. It's a remix of sorts, knowing what we want and totally giving us a lot of exactly that, but in ways weird enough to keep us guessing. Late in the film, one character might exclaim "Nostalgia's overrated!" but the movie doesn't skimp on it. It just tweaks it a little, enough for some fun times.

The fact that Robinson's film is cribbing from Jaws just as much as it is from the '90s slasher franchise it's re-doing should be an indication that this ain't your cool auntie's same I Know What You Did Last Summer. For example, rich man Spencer's oligarchical ways might work in the kids' favor when it comes to covering up their vehicular manslaughter. But as their past comes back to haunt them in the form of that hook-wielding psychopath with his all-caps handwritten threats, Spencer's desire to keep his crown jewel of a community conspiracy-free means the kids can't trust his in-pocket police force to help. They're too busy waving their arms saying "Nothing to see here!" to see the bodies piling up behind them.

It's refreshing to see how genuinely likeable most of our main characters are in I Know What You Did Last Summer. That was mostly true in the original film as well — Helen Shivers (Sarah Michelle Gellar) forever! But it's important considering how keenly focused the 1997 film was on its main foursome; screenwriter Kevin Williamson was basically delivering a version of his own Dawson's Creek with light bloodletting. The new I Know What You Did Last Summer maintains a lot of that sense of dialed-in intimacy. It's 100 percent keyed into who these kids are, so even when they're being dumb, the movie celebrates them for it. Or at least empathizes. And that's plainly nice to experience when so many of these movies can't seem to stand their own characters.

This is especially true in Wonders and Cline's portrayal of the relationship between Ava and Danica, best friends who never miss a chance to tell each other how much they love one another, even when the pressure of their deceitful history weighs on them. Slashers often refrain, to their detriment, from making us care too much about characters because they are, by genre's definition, meat for the grinder. All the hacking and stabbing can stop being entertaining if we care too much about the hacked and slashed. But there is a needle to be threaded in making us root for the protagonists, and Robinson and her actors thread it well. As a result, we (whaddyaknow) find ourselves extra scared for these kids finding themselves in constant unspeakable danger. Everybody wins!

It's the weirdness where I Know What You Did Last Summer really wins out THEY'RE BAAACK. Credit: Matt Kennedy / Sony Pictures

The thing about the I Know What You Did Last Summer franchise that always made it stand enough apart from Scream and the other '90s slashers to thrive was its weird little swerves — Anne Heche and her taxidermy farm anyone? Or what about Hewitt's truly bizarre apocryphal story about an actual child writing and directing her infamous "What are you waiting for, huh?" moment?

Thankfully, Robinson nails that left-field whackadoo vibe as well. There are miniature subplots involving a bisexual horror podcaster (Gabbriette Bechtel) wearing covetable Helen Shivers merch, a cult-like pastor (Austin Nichols) keeping a serial-killer-ish scrapbook, and don't even get me started on the dream sequence that drew spontaneous applause from my audience. The word "trauma" is uttered here as many times as Jamie Lee Curtis landed it in her Halloween press run, but somehow it works as a blessed, knowing laugh-line. There's just enough winking going on to make it go down easy, leaving the heaviness of so-called "elevated horror" to the past.

Nowhere is that more evident in the return of Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. as I Know What You Did Last Summer's original survivors, Julie and Ray. Like Neve Campbell, Courteney Bass Cox, and David Arquette in Scream, these actors have sat with the legacy of the original film for 20 years, and jump right back into it with the perfect mix of seriousness and goofiness. Julie and Ray have plenty to teach the next generation about surviving — not just great big hooks flying at their faces, but embracing genre silliness in its purest form.

Here, Robinson's film leans into the fun of horror legacy, playing to the strengths of the '90s original and throwing curveballs at a new generation. It's all a learning process: when life stabs you, you strike a pose in your designer jeans and vintage rock tee and stab it the hell back, baby.

I Know What You Did Last Summer opens in theaters July 18.

If you've ever been curious about whether audiobooks are right for you, this is the perfect opportunity to find out. While all Audible members have access to the Plus Catalog, which includes thousands of audiobooks, podcasts, originals, and more, only Premium Plus members get access to the premium selection. A Premium Plus membership unlocks access to a credit you can use each month to "purchase" these premium titles, as well as hundreds of Audible Original audiobooks and access to members-only sales. At the very least, with the three-month promo period, you'll be able to enjoy three premium titles (including new releases and bestsellers), plus an abundance of included titles and Audible Originals — all for free.

Fair warning: I fell in love with audiobooks thanks to a similar three-month deal last year. Just remember that once the promotional period runs out, you'll automatically be charged the full price of $14.95 unless you cancel. If nothing else, this is a great opportunity to add to your book total for the year without spending a cent.

SEE ALSO: Tariffs are coming for your sex toys

If you've been waiting for the right moment to build out your toy collection, this is it. We're spotting major discounts at LELO, Lovers, Zumio, and more of our go-to shops.

Here are the best deals we're seeing so far:

Best deal you can shop now Opens in a new window Credit: Le Wand Le Wand Bullet $28.99 at Le Wand
$89.99 Save $61 Get Deal Why we like it

Right now, Le Wand is offering so many deals. You can get 30% off select wand massagers (some of these premium massagers that usually go for 100+ are down to 50 or less!), up to 50% off select bundles and sets, and up to 80% off sale items. There are also a handful of under-$50 deals to shop.

What to buy: With so much to choose from, it can be hard to decide what to get. If you’re looking for a new vibe that you can take on the go (summer vacation is right around the corner), I highly recommend the Le Wand Bullet. I own this little bullet, and it’s not just chic but also powerful and discreet. (I have the rose gold version.)

Only the dark cherry shade is on sale, but for $28.99, you honestly cannot beat the price. I mean, a $89.99 vibrator for less than $30? That’s insane.

Best runner-up deal Opens in a new window Credit: Zumio Zumio S $105 at Zumio
$150 Save $45 Get Deal Why we like it

If you’re looking for a premium vibrator and you’re willing to pay for it, Zumio is offering 30% off sitewide July 31 through August 3 (you can also get 30% off sitewide right now in honor of Independence Day).

What to buy: Yes, I know the Zumio toys kind of resemble something you’d see at your dentist’s office, but don’t let the design put you off. These toys are built for pinpoint clitoral stimulation and are perfect for anyone who experiences pain with penetration. (I was blown away when I tried the Zumio X years ago, and I’m still a fan.)

If you’re new to the brand, I recommend the Zumio S. You’ll get soft and gentle stimulation without overwhelming your sensitive bits. If you can handle intensity, go with the Zumio X. Both the Zumio S and Zumio X on sale for $105 (originally $150), which I know is kind of steep for a vibrator, but trust me when I say it’s worth it.

Honorable mention Opens in a new window Credit: biird Lumii $75.65 at biird
$89 Save $13.35 Get Deal Why we like it

Biird, one of my all-time favorite sex toy retailers, is currently hosting a rare Summer Sale. You can get up to 30% off select vibrators and glass toys, including bestsellers like the Namii (which I absolutely love) and the Evi, through August 1.

What to buy: If you don’t want to spend over $100, but you want something that’ll take you to another dimension, I highly recommend the Lumii. It’s like a more compact version of the Namii (I have both of these toys and adore them), so you’ll still get intense clitoral stimulation, but for a fraction of the price. It also comes with a super cute carrying case that looks like a makeup compact (there’s even a mirror inside for touch-ups or a little self-voyeurism).

There are seven suction intensities to choose from, and it comes in two color ways: lilac and mint. Right now, you can get the Lumii for $75.65.

Did you know that nothing beats a Jet2 holiday? If you're on TikTok, that's all you're hearing this summer.

To the mixed sound of "Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday" and English singer Jess Glynne's 2015 hit "Hold My Hand," thousands of people are posting vacation-themed bloopers and memes. The advert for Jet2, a British low-budget airline, has over 1.2 million videos on TikTok, just in time for the season of beach getaways, missed flights, and holiday adventures and mishaps.

The most viral of these videos shows the latter. As air-travel anxiety has spiked, the meme makes light of travel-related setbacks.

For those in the United Kingdom, Jet2 is known for easy, low-cost European flights. Its commercials are well-recognized too. As UK-based writer Hannah Cowton-Barnes explains, the commercial's jingle was "unrelenting" over the last decade or so: "broadcast across every UK TV channel that takes ads since 2015."

But the sound has put Jet2 on the map, well beyond the UK, thanks to TikTok.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

The sound has become something of a summer anthem, as Vulture and Forbes have pointed out. And the effects of virality have trickled. Glynee has garnered attention for her role in the sound, recently posting a TikTok that received over 4 million views. The original commercial for the airline, released in 2022, now has over 1 million views on YouTube. Zoe Lister, the voiceover artist behind the advert, has also acknowledged the virality of the trend. She's even been invited to radio shows and festivals to voice the iconic catchphrase in person.

Jet2 is certainly getting some free publicity too, just as it announced a record year for profit. The airline has embraced its TikTok fame, announcing a lip-sync challenge and £1,000 giveaway on the app. After all, nothing beats a Jet2 holiday.

If your retro, N64 remake is delayed, what do you do? Blame President Donald Trump.

Trump's punitive, widespread tariffs have reportedly delayed the shipment of the Analogue 3D, a $250 retro gaming console that promises the N64 experience with modern upgrades, according to the company. The Analogue 3D sold out last year and was supposed to ship in early 2025 — but now customers will have to wait until at least next month.

"Following last week’s sudden tariff changes, Analogue3D will now begin shipping next month. We’re absorbing the costs — your preorder price stays the same. No additional charges," the company wrote on its website this week. "Late August, the wait ends: reviews go live with everything we’ve been saving for this moment. We’ve poured everything into Analogue3D — and we can’t wait for you to see it for yourself."

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Trump levied a new round of tariffs last week, with rates as high as 50 percent on certain countries. The president's tariffs are sprawling and hard to track, but a pause on the initial, reciprocal tariffs levied in April is due to end in August.

To be fair, the Analogue 3D had already been hit with delays that had nothing to do with tariffs, and we can't independently verify that Trump's tariffs are the cause of the latest delay.

Regardless, it seems users will finally get their Analogue 3D next month.

Analogue says its N64 remake is a “reimagining of the N64” that’s compatible with every N64 game ever made, bringing classics like Goldeneye and Mario Kart 64 to 4K TVs.

Challengers director Luca Guadagnino swaps tennis courts for college classrooms in his star-studded psychological thriller After the Hunt, with a trailer out today.

The acclaimed director of Call Me By Your Name, Bones and All, and Queer teams up with Julia Roberts, Ayo Edebiri, and Andrew Garfield for his latest project, which examines a #MeToo scandal on an elite college campus. Prior Guadagnino collaborators Michael Stuhlbarg and Chloë Sevigny also star, and the film is written by Nora Garrett.

Roberts plays Alma, a well-respected college professor whose personal and professional lives are turned upside down when her student Maggie (Edebiri) accuses her colleague Hank (Garfield) of sexual assault. The ensuing backlash becomes a campus-wide storm of he-said, she-said. Hank counters Maggie's accusation with claims that she's been plagiarizing her college work, and Maggie threatens to expose a dark secret from Alma's past. The fact that both Maggie and Hank seem to have feelings for Alma further muddies the water of her reaction.

In addition to exploring the aftermath of Maggie's allegations, After the Hunt also studies the generational differences between the college's professors and their students. The film's first trailer opens with Hank telling Maggie, "All your generation, you’re scared of saying the wrong thing. When did offending someone become the preeminent cardinal sin?"

Her response? "Maybe it’s around the same time your generation started making sweeping generalizations about ours?"

If that conversation is anything to go by, we're in for far more inter-generational conflict — and more of Guadagnino's sumptuous filmmaking — in the full film.

After the Hunt hits New York and Los Angeles theaters Oct. 10, and expands nationwide Oct. 17.

If you haven't yet gotten a Nintendo Switch 2, you're about to have a chance to bring your FOMO phase to a swift end, because Best Buy and Amazon are about to unleash a restock just in time for the release of Donkey Kong Bananza. That's right, there's about to be more to play than just Mario Kart World. Be aware, though, there's a catch for buying the console at either retailer.

If you want to get your hands on one of the coveted handheld gaming consoles, listen up. On July 17 — the same day as Donkey Kong Bananza's release — Best Buy will restock Nintendo Switch 2 consoles for in-store purchases only in limited quantities. Every single Best Buy store will have stock, according to the retailer's website, so find your nearest store and get ready to head over.

Amazon is handling its restock a little bit differently. As of right now, Nintendo Switch 2 consoles can be purchased via invite only, and apparently those invites are starting to be sent out. You can still request an invite at Amazon for the regular Switch 2 and the Mario Kart World bundle version, but there's no guarantee you'll get an invite anytime soon. Still, it's worth a try.

Keep an eye on our Nintendo Switch 2 coverage to be updated about future restocks.

The Daily Show often briefly hands the desk mic to famous faces passionate about issues affecting Americans, with stars like Laverne Cox hitting it out of the park in 10-minute opinion monologues. On Tuesday night, Nick Offerman channelled a little of his Parks and Recreation character Ron Swanson and a lot of himself, an author of books on America's great outdoors, into one heck of a segment on the current plight of national parks.

“I have several undeniable loves in my life: the oaky notes of a barrel-aged whiskey, an old-fashioned plumb bob dangling over a red cedar plank, my blushing bride’s hoo-ha," says Offerman in the clip above, "and of course, America’s national parks."

"It gives me great sorrow to report these pastoral gifts to America are under attack," he adds, before launching into why.

Offerman uses his monologue, both hilarious and concerned, to raise awareness of the very real circumstances facing national parks in the U.S., most pressingly the current staffing crisis due to the Trump administration and Elon Musk's DOGE cuts, and Donald Trump's "big beautiful bill" cutting a further $267 million of funding for national park staff — with the president then increasing entry fees for foreign visitors to try and earn back $90 million.

"So let me get this straight Mr. President, you cut $267 million to get back $90 million? Now, I’m no mathematician, but I believe that’s called shitting the bed," says Offerman. "But then again, I didn't go to Wharton Business College."

It's worth watching the whole 10-minute segment, as Offerman's delivery is impeccable.

SAVE UP TO $59.01: As of July 16, the Apple AirPods 4 — with and without ANC — are back within 99 cents of their record-low price. After spiking back up in price post-Prime Day, you can grab a pair for $119.99 with ANC (reg. $179) and $89.99 without (reg. $129), saving you 30% or more.

Both versions of Apple's AirPods 4 hit record low prices on Prime Day — just $119 with ANC and $89 without. But following the shopping event, they jumped back up to their typical sale prices of $148.99 and $99. Prime Day prices don't last forever, after all. Much to our surprise, however, the Apple earbuds immediately dropped back down to within 99 cents of their best prices ever.

As of July 16, you can pick up the AirPods 4 with ANC for only $119.99 and the AirPods 4 without ANC for just $89.99. That's 33% and 30% in savings, respectively. If you missed out on Prime Day savings, you'll only be paying 99 cents more for either pair than you would've during the main event.

The fourth-generation Apple buds feature personalized spatial audio, Siri interactions, voice isolation, a more findable and compact charging case compared to previous models, and improved bass, mids, and highs. They're also surprisingly snug and comfortable, making them a great daily driver. The only real differences between the two pairs of buds is the addition of active noise cancellation, which also puts a slight damper on battery life. Without ANC, they'll last you about five hours per charge (with another 30 in the charging case) and with ANC, they'll go for about four (or 20 with the charging case).

Mashable's Kim Gedeon gave them a glowing 4.6 out of 5 stars, saying, "Whether I sprinted on a treadmill or bobbed my head to a song, they stayed put."

Grab them for just 99 cents more than their Prime Day price while you can — there's no telling how long these discounts will stick around.

iPhone users rejoice. Faster wireless chargers are coming for iPhones.

Yesterday, Chinese electronics company Ugreen announced a Qi2.2 wireless charging power bank arriving soon. Quickly following suit, other Qi2.2 products were certified by the Wireless Power Consortium, all from different manufacturers.

Here's what you need to know.

What is Qi2.2?

Qi2.2 is the latest version of the wireless charging standard, improving on previous standards. The new Qi2.2 standard boosts power to 25W, or 25 watts of power. Ugreen's MagFlow Magnetic Power Bank is the first wireless charger to receive the Qi2.2 certification.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Qi2, the previous version, supported the iPhone 15 and 16 since launch, and iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 since iOS 17.2. However, Qi2 only supported 15W charging speeds. The iPhone 16 already supports 25W charging, the fastest wireless charging rate, with Apple's MagSafe charger announced at the phone's launch last year.

As we reported at the time, the entire iPhone 16 series is "capable of 45W charging over USB-C" and "MagSafe wireless charging up to 25W with a 30W adapter or higher, as well as Qi2 wireless charging up to 15W." With Qi2.2, third-party chargers will now be capable of 25W wireless charging.

Qi2.2 chargers utilize magnetic alignment to reduce power loss and improve charging efficiency, according to the WPC.

SEE ALSO: Anker's $29 supercharger is my secret weapon — and it's on sale Which other wireless chargers are available?

The Wireless Power Consortium certified eight more products with Qi2.2 charging speeds. The consortium announced version 2.2 in April 2025 and certified products with the latest standard on July 15.

Baseus received a Qi2.2 certification for one power bank and, according to The Verge, has another on the way. Belkin announced that several Qi2.2 products will roll out in the next few months. Anker, Aukey, Scosche, ODMs CVSMicro, and BH EVS are also set to release their own versions, too.

Apple is reportedly working on a new MagSafe charger with Qi2.2 compatibility, according to a leak last month.

When can you buy these chargers?

While several announcements are yet to come, some of these faster chargers are available. Aukey has a 2-1 charging stand available for preorder now, priced at $60.29. Ugreen's product is announced, but the price is yet to be revealed.
