- Sora 2 has appeared on the Google Play Store
- However, it is not yet available for download.
- AI Video app remains invite-only on iOS
Sora 2 has been a big hit since the AI video generator and TikTok-style social media platform launched on the iPhone a couple of weeks ago, and it looks like Android users will be able to join the party very soon.
As spotted by @ArtemR (via Android Police), a listing for Sora 2 has now appeared on the Google Play Store. However, for now, you can only pre-register your interest if you are in the US and Canada; download is not available.
Note also that Sora 2 remains invite-only on iOS, at least for the time being, and presumably will be on Android. However, there is a chance that the Android launch coincides with the app being made available to anyone who wants to sign up.
OpenAI, developer of Sora and ChatGPT, is certainly trying to manage the demand, with the company’s CEO Sam Altman. He recently said that users are creating many more videos than initially expected, and all of them come at a significant cost in terms of processing.
The video revolution with AI

Although access to Sora 2 remains restricted for now, that hasn’t stopped AI video clips generated by the app from spreading all over the internet, featuring all sorts of wild and surreal scenarios.
In fact, we were able to try it out ourselves, which left us impressed with Sora 2’s capabilities and quite concerned about what it means for the future of video content and the web in general.
The success of the app has once again highlighted the legal and ethical implications of creating fake videos with real people, whether it’s a celebrity or someone in their family, and that debate is likely to continue.
Once you have an invite, the app is free to use, with what OpenAI describes as “generous” limits on the number of videos you can create. That helped Sora 2 reach the top of Apple’s App Store charts, which could soon happen on Android as well.
