Google I/O 2025 live: all the latest news and rumors for Android XR, Gemini, Project Astra, and more

This year's Google I/O event is set to bring major announcements showcasing the future of Android XR, Gemini, and everything else the tech giant is working on.

Google showcased Android 16 last week, leaving lots of people guessing at what to expect during its flagship keynote this year. As we expect the focus to be less about Android and more about XR and AI, this year's Google I/O could be the biggest yet.

From Google's new AI Mode to Gemini Live, we expect some huge announcements that could shift the way we interact with the internet.

Starting at 10 am PT / 1 pm ET / 6 pm BST, we'll be covering all the latest announcements from Google I/O 2025.

Welcome to TechRadar's Google I/O 2025 live blog! John-Anthony Disotto, Senior AI Writer, here to take you through the first few hours of today as we build up to one of Google's biggest events of the year.

So grab a coffee, set this tab up to the side of your monitor, and get ready for a huge day in the world of tech!

Google I/O 2025 starts in around 9 hours, at 10 am PT / 1 pm ET / 6 pm BST. That gives us loads of time to take you through everything we expect to see at Google's headline keynote.

There's going to be loads of AI, maybe some Android, and definitely some surprises, so you won't want to miss what the tech giant has up its sleeve.

On Google's official website for the event, it says, "Discover how we’re furthering our mission to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful."

This makes me think we're going to see some big improvements to Google Search, and maybe even a wider roll-out of AI Mode.

AI Mode launched in beta earlier this year, bringing artificial intelligence to the forefront of the Google Search experience. Whether you love it or hate it, AI looks like it's here to stay, and Google Gemini is probably going to play a part.
