Short answer:<\/strong> OpenAI discontinued the Sora web and app experiences on April 26, 2026<\/a>. The official Sora 2 API<\/a> is still listed as a Legacy video model, but OpenAI says the API will be discontinued on September 24, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That leaves three different routes: the official consumer app is gone, eligible developers can still use the API during its final transition window, and creators who want a longer-term workflow can move to current video models on multi-model platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Route<\/th>Status on July 27, 2026<\/th>What you can do<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Official Sora web and app<\/td>Discontinued April 26, 2026<\/td>Export existing content if the export route is still available; no new app generations.<\/td><\/tr>
Official Sora 2 API<\/td>Legacy; scheduled to end September 24, 2026<\/td>Eligible API customers in supported countries and territories<\/a> can use the remaining API window.<\/td><\/tr>

OpenAI’s Sora 2<\/a> is no longer available through its former public web and app experiences. OpenAI’s own discontinuation notice gives April 26, 2026 for the consumer experiences and September 24, 2026 for the API, so creators now need to separate “the app is gone” from “the API is still in its final transition window.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The loss of a reliable video generation tool can bring professional production workflows to a complete standstill. GlobalGPT<\/a> emerged as the primary solution for displaced creators by offering a stable, unified gateway to the industry’s most advanced AI video engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GlobalGPT provides a comprehensive all-in-one AI platform that integrates over 100 top-tier models. Its current video workspace lists Sora successors and alternatives such as Veo 3.1, Kling 3.0, Seedance 2.0, and Wan 2.7, giving creators a practical route beyond the former standalone app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For creators focusing on video and image generation, the $10.8 Pro Plan offers a massive cost advantage over separate subscriptions while ensuring a seamless workflow with no region locks or heavy content restrictions<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where is Sora available now: Can you still access OpenAI\u2019s official video tool?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As of March 2026, you cannot use the official Sora 2<\/a> to create new videos anymore. OpenAI has permanently shut down the main generation servers, which means the “Generate” button on the official website is no longer As of July 27, 2026, you cannot use the discontinued Sora web or app experience to create new videos. OpenAI says those consumer experiences ended on April 26, 2026, while the Sora API remains in a temporary Legacy period before its announced September 24, 2026 shutdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
