[What and Why:]
We’re retiring the current Sora video generation experience (Sora 2) available through the Frontier program as part of our ongoing investment in next-generation video capabilities. This transition enables improved scalability, performance, and future innovation in Copilot-powered video creation. A new video experience is in development and will be communicated when available.

Retirement begins mid-June 2026 and completes by late June 2026.
