Sora’s Android launch is off to an auspicious start. On its first day on the Google Play Store, the AI video app from ChatGPT maker OpenAI saw an estimated 470,000 downloads across the markets where it was available, according to new estimates from app intelligence provider Appfigures .

That makes the Android launch more than four-times the size of the iOS launch, with 327% more installs (360,000) — but firm notes that’s not an apples-to-apples comparison.

On iOS, Sora was only available in the U.S. and Canada, and it was invite-only.

Sora on Android, however, is available in the U.S., Canada, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam, and OpenAI dropped the invite requirement in late October for its top markets.
