If you're searching for a Sora 2 invite code, you're not alone. Sora 2 is rolling out in phases, and during the invite-only period, you may be asked to enter a code while onboarding. For the latest official release info and regional availability, visit the Official Sora Release Page.
A Sora 2 invite code is a digital access key OpenAI uses to manage server capacity during phased rollouts. Even if you can download the Sora app, you may be prompted to enter a code before you can start generating video.
Why does OpenAI do this?
According to OpenAI's documentation, Sora 2 is primarily available through the Sora app and on sora.com. The rollout initially focused on North America, with broader expansion planned for 2026.
If you are using QuestStudio's Video Lab, you'll see both options available. Here is how they differ:
Balanced for speed and everyday social media content. Generates quickly and is great for general ideation.
Built for professional cinematic output. Higher fidelity, complex motion, and tougher camera moves.
Download the Sora app from the App Store or Play Store and sign in with your OpenAI account. If you aren't immediately granted access, request to be notified. This is the only way OpenAI explicitly supports.
During certain phases, existing users are granted invite codes to share with friends. Always ensure you know the person sharing the code. Never pay for these invites.
Keep an eye on tech news sites like Tom's Guide or the official Sora X/Twitter account. Occasionally, OpenAI opens access to larger groups for short periods.
The high demand for Sora 2 has led to a surge in fraudulent sites. Follow these rules to stay safe:
Never pay for a code. Official codes are always free.
Never give your OpenAI password to anyone offering "activation."
Only use sora.com or the official mobile app. Avoid clones.
If you're tired of refreshing forums for an invite, you don't have to wait. QuestStudio integrates Sora 2 and Sora 2 Pro directly into one professional workspace.
