Get Instant Access To OpenAI Sora 2 Now

You've likely seen the incredible AI-generated videos from Sora flooding your social media feeds. After an initial invite-only phase, the wait is finally over for many. OpenAI has announced that its viral Sora 2 video generator is now available without an invite code for users in the US, Canada, Japan, and South Korea, though only for a limited time.

This is a major shift from the early adopter phase where access was exclusive. If you're in one of the eligible regions, you can jump right in. For everyone else, there are still clear pathways to get access.

How to Download and Use Sora Without a Code

If you are in the US, Canada, Japan, or South Korea, getting started with Sora is incredibly straightforward. You no longer need to hunt for an invite code. Just follow these simple steps:

1. Download the official Sora app from the Apple App Store.
2. Sign in with the same account you use for ChatGPT or ChatGPT Plus.
3. That's it! You can immediately start creating, watching, and sharing AI videos.

How to Get an Invite Code for Sora

If you don't live in one of the currently supported countries, you'll still need an invite code. The primary way to get one is by joining the official waitlist.

1. Download the Sora app from the Apple App Store, making sure it's the one with the navy and white cloud icon.
2. Log in with your ChatGPT account.
3. Tap the button that says Notify me when access opens.
4. Allow the app to send you push notifications so you're alerted when access is granted.

OpenAI has stated it plans to expand to more countries soon, prioritizing its paying Pro users for access first. However, a paid subscription is not a requirement to eventually get in. Once you receive an invite code, you can use Sora on the mobile app or the website and will even get four new codes to share with friends.

How to Get a Sora 2 Invite Code Through Discord

If you want to try a faster method than the official waitlist, the OpenAI Discord community is a great place to look. Here’s how you can try to get a code from another user:

1. Join the official OpenAI Discord server. If you're new to the platform, you'll need to create a Discord account first.
2. Link your ChatGPT account to your Discord profile by following the on-screen instructions from OpenAI.
3. Be patient, as it can take several hours for the accounts to link and for you to be granted full server access.
4. Once you're in, find and navigate to the #sora-2-codes channel.
5. Politely post a message asking if anyone has a spare invite code to share.

Remember to respect the server's rules and never attempt to sell or buy invite codes.
