Hi @fluid fossil. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
OpenAI has not provided a detailed public explanation for why Sora 2 is not available in the UK at this time. The knowledge sources confirm that access to the Sora app and Sora 2 is currently limited to users in the US and Canada, with plans to expand availability in the future. The UK, EU, and Australia are specifically mentioned as not included at launch. No further reasons—such as regulatory, technical, or business considerations—are given in the available documentation. OpenAI states that rollout will expand over time, but there is no timeline or specific rationale provided for the current regional restrictions Getting started with the Sora app Sora App and Sora 2 - Supported Countries.
