A real-time world model you can explore and change
PixVerse R2 is a real-time world model that generates continuously evolving audiovisual worlds instead of fixed video clips. It accepts text, images, audio and actions while generating, remembers what happened earlier in the session, and carries those changes forward in real time. R2 scales to longer, more coherent and controllable experiences — powering everything from interactive stories and characters to playable generative worlds.
We’re the PixVerse team. Meet PixVerse R2: a real-time world model you can explore and change while it’s being generated.
Explore. Change. Keep going.
Explore with WASD. Move through the world and choose where to go next.
Change it with a prompt. Introduce a new element or change the scene as it unfolds.
Keep going. Continue interacting in the same evolving world after each change.

How R2 works
R2 builds its world-model capabilities through continuous pretraining with Omni Causal AR, then distills that same foundation for real-time interaction. The aim is to make worlds more persistent, controllable, and scalable.
Whether you’re experimenting with interactive stories, game prototypes, or AI worlds, we’d love your feedback. What would you explore or change first?
The gallery combines AI concept scenes with an overview of R2’s architecture.
