AV2 Arriving: What We Know, and What We Don?t Know

According to AOMedia's announcement, AV2 is set for release at the end of 2025. The group highlights several improvements over AV1, including significantly better compression performance (with no specifics), enhanced support for AR/VR content, split-screen and multi-view delivery, improved handling of screen content, and operation across a broader visual quality range. Like AV1, AV2 will be offered under AOMedia's royalty-free patent policy, which means licensees can use it without paying royalties to AOMedia.
