Hexus published USB 3.2 standard to absorb USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 specifications A quote from the article:
So you will get USB 3.2 Gen 1, USB 3.2 Gen 2, and USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 ports and interfaces. The USB Implementers Forum outlined the USB 3.2 spec back in July 2017. At MWC 2019 today it provided an update (PDF file) on branding and name changes for USB 3.0 and 3.1. In brief, the USB 3.2 standard will absorb USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 specifications so you won't see such standards mentioned on new products. Unfortunately such branding will remain on kit you might already own, of course, serving to confuse…

With the new branding there are three standards outlined, and three new 'marketing names' as follows, with a reference reminder to what they used to be called.
