Quick Answer: When Is Veo 4 Coming Out?

As of December 31, 2025, Google has not publicly confirmed an official release date for Veo 4.

The latest publicly promoted Veo version in Google's own product pages is Veo 3.1, which is available through Gemini's video generation experience.

That means any exact Veo 4 release date you see online is speculation until Google publishes it.

What Is Veo, and What Version Is Current Right Now?

Veo is Google DeepMind's text-to-video model family. Google's official Veo pages describe current capabilities like realism, physics, prompt adherence, and native audio generation in the Veo 3 line.

Google has also introduced Veo models for developers through Google Cloud and Vertex AI announcements, which is one of the places new model access can appear first.

Current Veo Lineup

  • Veo 3 – Latest full model with native audio generation
  • Veo 3.1 – Incremental improvements, available in Gemini
  • Veo 4 – Not announced, no official release date

Why "Veo 4 Release Date" Results Are All Over the Place

When a keyword spikes before an official announcement, Google tends to rank a mix of:

  • Prediction posts (high engagement, low certainty)
  • Tool pages targeting the term for future traffic
  • Community rumor threads
  • Misleading "instant access" pages

If you want a reliable signal, prioritize official channels first, then treat everything else as "possible, not proven."

Where to Check for the Real Veo 4 Announcement

If Veo 4 is announced, it will almost always show up in at least one of these places:

Google DeepMind's Veo Model Page

Official model information and capabilities

Gemini Video Generation Page

What normal users can access right now

Google Cloud / Vertex AI Blog

Where model rollouts for builders are described

Major Tech Outlets

The Verge, TechCrunch, etc. covering Veo updates

Beware of Fake "Veo 4 Access" Sites

This matters because people searching "Veo 4" are in a hurry, and scammers take advantage of that.

You will find sites claiming things like:

  • • "Veo 4 generator"
  • • "Veo 4 free credits"
  • • "Instant Veo 4 access"

Some of these are simply unaffiliated tools using the name for traffic. Others can be outright scams. There have already been public warnings about scam sites pretending to sell access to Veo versions.

How to Protect Yourself:

  • Trust official Google domains first (DeepMind, Gemini, Google Cloud)
  • Be cautious with sites that ask for payment while promising "Veo 4 access" today
  • If a page cannot point to an official Google announcement, treat it as unverified

What to Do Right Now While Waiting for Veo 4

Most creators waste this waiting period. The smart move is to build a repeatable workflow so that when a new model drops, you can evaluate it in minutes, not days.

1 Test Your Prompt Style on Veo 3.1 First

Veo 3.1 is the current baseline for many users. You can test it right now in QuestStudio's Video Lab alongside other models like Sora 2 Pro.

Build a small prompt pack you can reuse:

  • • Cinematic scene
  • • Product shot
  • • Talking character with audio
  • • Action sequence
  • • Vertical social clip

When Veo 4 arrives, you run the same pack and instantly see what improved.

2 Track the Big Quality Signals That Actually Matter

When you test outputs, focus on signals that separate great models from "almost" models:

  • • Character consistency across frames
  • • Legible text in scene
  • • Motion realism (hands, physics, camera movement)
  • • Audio alignment, if audio is enabled
  • • Artifacting, warping, and flicker

3 Prepare for Short Clips, Even if Longer Clips Are Rumored

Many Veo experiences still emphasize short clip generation in the mainstream product flow, so your workflow should be built around:

  • • Strong single shots
  • • Multi-shot storytelling through multiple clips
  • • Clean prompt structure that can scale to longer duration later

4 Use a Compare-First Workflow Instead of Guessing

If you are serious about results, do not rely on one model, one run, one output.

QuestStudio is built for comparison workflows. You can generate Veo 3.1 and Sora 2 Pro videos right now, test the same prompt across multiple AI video models, and keep a clean prompt library for later. When Veo 4 becomes available, you can evaluate it the same way—fast, side by side.
