Group 3: Product Success and Features - The launch of PixVerse's V3 version marked a significant turning point, with rapid user growth and engagement, attributed to its user-friendly features that lowered the creation barrier for ordinary users [13][18]. - The product's success was further enhanced by its ability to generate videos quickly, with V4 achieving near real-time generation capabilities and introducing sound to the videos [20][21]. - By May 2025, PixVerse had over 60 million users and ranked highly in app store charts, indicating strong market penetration and user engagement [22][23].
