OpenAI Sora Soars to #1 on Apple’s US App Store, Signaling Massive Demand for AI Video

OpenAI’s groundbreaking Sora app for AI video generation has rapidly ascended to the No. 1 spot on Apple’s U.S. App Store, a significant achievement reported on Friday, October 3. This viral success comes despite the app currently being invite-only and limited to users in the U.S. and Canada.

According to data from app intelligence provider Appfigures, Sora garnered an impressive 56,000 downloads on its launch day, September 30, and accumulated a total of 164,000 installs within its first two days (September 30 and October 1). By its second day, it was already ranked as the No. 3 Top Overall app before clinching the top position.

Sora’s debut performance, matching xAI’s Grok launch and significantly outperforming Anthropic’s Claude and Microsoft’s Copilot, underscores a robust consumer appetite for AI video creation tools. While OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini saw slightly stronger day-one launches in terms of raw downloads, Sora’s rapid climb to the top spot, especially under its invite-only restriction, highlights its immense appeal and potential impact on the generative AI landscape.
