Niantic games team rebrands to Scopely Explore
Scopely has renamed the Niantic games team it acquired for $3.5 billion to Scopely Explore, one year after the acquisition. Scopely said Scopely Explore is not a separate company or subsidiary and that the Niantic name will be phased to Scopely Explore across platforms over the coming weeks. Niantic Spatial — the spin‑off created during the deal — remains a separate business focused on its own technology and operating titles such as Ingress Prime and Peridot. The acquisition included major mobile AR titles including Pokémon Go, Pikmin Bloom and Monster Hunter Now. AppMagic estimates Pikmin Bloom has generated over $35m in player spending in H1 2026.
