Niantic Company Profile

Niantic was an American software development company and video game developer based in San Francisco that developed augmented reality mobile games Ingress, Pokémon Go, and others. The company was formed as Niantic Labs in 2010 as an internal startup within Google, and it became an independent entity in October 2015 when Google restructured under Alphabet Inc.

In March 2025, the company sold its gaming business to Scopely for US$3.5 billion, with its team operating as Scopely Explore, and its non-video game business spun off as Niantic Spatial, which builds real-world foundational models for physical AI so people and machines can work efficiently and safely together.
