Savvy Games Group subsidiary Scopely has revealed it’s officially closed the $3.5 billion acquisition of Niantic’s game business as of late May.
“We are proud to share that we closed the acquisition of Niantic’s game business on May 29, 2025,” the company shared in an update on its website.
“The deal brings category-leading games Pokémon Go, Pikmin Bloom, Monster Hunter Now and community-builder companion apps and services Campfire and Wayfarer to the Scopely portfolio.”
“We look forward to welcoming over 400 of Niantic’s world-class gamemakers to our global team, where they will continue to serve their incredible community of players.”
The deal was announced back in March, with Scopely vowing not to make layoffs as it integrates Niantic’s developers.
Pokémon Go remains the crown jewel of that gaming portfolio. The game has been a top 10 mobile game every year since its original release in 2016, with more than 100 million users in 2024.
Back in March, Scopely said it planned to continue pursuing the ambitious roadmaps for each of Niantic’s games.
Niantic, meanwhile, said that once the acquisition was completed, it will spin off into a new company, Niantic Spatial, focused on geospatial AI. It still owns the AR games Ingress Prime and Peridot.
