With this round backed by a broad set of international investors, PixVerse extends its platform from video creation into games and interactive entertainment, powered by its interactive real-time world model.
SINGAPORE, July 14, 2026–(BUSINESS WIRE)–PixVerse, a global AI video generation platform, today announced the completion of its Series C extension, bringing total Series C fundraising to USD 439 million.
The round was extended following strong continued interest from international investors, including strategic partners across media, entertainment, and technology. New investors in this extension include Alibaba, Lollapalooza Capital, Ivy Capital, Grand Mount Capital, Eastern Bell Capital, Mirae Asset, BlueFocus, and CloudAlpha, joining returning investors iGlobe Partners and OCBC’s LionX Ventures.
Building Toward Interactive Worlds
PixVerse was built on the belief that professional-quality video creation should be accessible to everyone. Since its launch, the platform has grown to over 150 million users across more than 177 countries, generating cinematic-quality video from a prompt, photo, or clip without requiring a production pipeline or prior experience.
“From the start, we set out to make professional video creation accessible to everyone,” said Jaden Xie, Co-Founder and President of PixVerse. “That same belief now drives everything we are building toward interactive worlds.”
At the center of this new development is R1, the world’s first real-time world model, launched in January 2026. With R1, PixVerse transformed video generation from a fixed output into a continuous, interactive stream that responds instantly to user input. Three months later, PixVerse updated R1 with shared worlds and personalized avatars, enabling multiple users to enter and shape the same AI-generated world in real time. Today, PixVerse takes that further, extending R1 into interactive games and entertainment.
PixVerse Game Engine: Creation Itself is Play
The PixVerse Game Engine applies R1 to game creation, separating abstract game mechanics from their visual expression. Players interact in natural language, and the world responds visually and mechanically in real time, unconstrained by a fixed set of pre-designed options. Every session produces a world that did not exist before the player entered it.
For creators, the same shift is beginning to take shape. Traditionally, modeling, animation, sound design, and narrative scripting have been prerequisites to game creation. The PixVerse Game Engine is designed to remove that dependency, where a creator defines the rules and structure of a game experience, and the engine handles the expression of those rules as a generated world.
