I don't know if this is common knowledge or the way to get access or if I stumbled on it.
This worked for me unexpectedly. It gave me access and it also gave me the standard 6 invite codes you get when you get access. NOTE: I DO NOT HAVE INVITE CODES TO GIVE SO PLEASE NO DM'S.
If outside of US.
VPN for US.
Change your Apple App store to the US store - enter all details required. Get a random US number from an online generator. Make sure post code for address is correct as it will flag it. Use a random US address.
Download Sora 2 app
Login with ChatGPT login - I have Pro so I assume this would be the minimum requirement.
Voila - you have immediate access.
No waiting. for codes and beating 1000 other people to get one.
This worked for me when I tried it, first go. Give it a shot.

You need an invite code to access Sora 2. Invite codes are often shared by existing users, or in community forums and social channels.

Partially. Sora 2 is live for users who receive invites (within supported regions). However, it is not fully open to everyone globally yet. Many regions are still awaiting access.
How to access Sora AI 2
This guide explains the requirements and methods for accessing Sora AI 2. Access primarily depends on an invitation code and your location.
Access requirements
Invitation code: You need a six-digit alphanumeric code to register. For example: 3P5MHB.
Location: Access is restricted to users with a United States or Canadian IP address. A VPN may be sufficient to meet this requirement.
You can enter the code on the Sora website (sora.chatgpt.com) or through the iOS and Android mobile apps.
How to get an invitation code
The most effective method is to join the official Sora AI Discord server.
Join the Discord server: Use the link discord.gg/HM8gJtdJff.
Ask in voice chat: The voice channels are the most reliable place to ask for a code. Users who gain access receive four additional invitations to share. Voice chat allows for direct communication, creating an efficient system for distributing these codes.
Ask in text channels: You can also ask for a code in the relevant text discussion channels.
Access without a code
A small number of users report gaining access by creating a new account directly, without logging in via an existing ChatGPT account. This method is not reliable and only works occasionally.
