PixVerse has closed a $439 million Series C, backed by Alibaba and a group of international investors

The company is expanding beyond AI video generation into real-time interactive games and entertainment

With more than 150 million users across 177 countries, PixVerse is betting AI’s future lies in generating worlds, not just videos

The first generation of generative AI created images. The second created videos. The next generation may create entire worlds.

That is the future Singapore-based PixVerse is betting on after closing a $439 million Series C, one of the largest funding rounds in AI video this year. Rather than competing solely with companies building better video models, PixVerse is expanding into interactive entertainment, where AI doesn’t simply generate content, but generates living worlds that respond to players in real time.
