On 29 May 2025, the developer of the Monopoly GO, Spopely, bought the Niantic game for $3.5 billion, bringing into the Spopely portfolio a variety of global hot-hand trips under the latter ‘ s banner, including the Boggo, which has seen the best two months of the 2025 profitability since the takeover, in June and July.
According to the Appfigures data, the June net income ring of Bocodigo increased by 82 per cent to $62 million, a third-high monthly performance in almost three years. This surge may have benefited from the introduction of new functions, optimized activities and increased community participation (e.g., under-line activities such as Pokémon GO Fest) following the Scapely takeover. Net income in July was $45 million, which, although lower than in June, was the second highest monthly income in 2025, demonstrating the continued profitability of the game.
On 12 March 2025, Spopely announced the purchase of Niantic ‘ s game business for $3.5 billion, including Bo Mango, Picmin Bloom and Monster Hunter Now, which was completed on 29 May. Following the takeover, more than 400 members of Niantic ‘ s game development team joined the Spopely and continued to operate the games. Niantic split its technical platform into Niantic Spatial, focusing on geospatial AI development.
Spopely Professional Game Operating Experience and Marketing Strategies have injected new life into Dream Go. In 2024, Bo Mango contributed approximately $770 million to Niantic, representing 95 per cent of its total game business income (approximately $1 billion). The game has more than 30 million active monthly players (MAU) and 20 million week active players (WAU), with global players walking 30 billion miles.
While the year-wide data for 2025 are not yet complete, the strong performance in June and July suggests that Spopely ‘ s operational optimization may have contributed to Quakergo moving beyond 2024 income levels. The player community is generally optimistic about Spopely’s takeover and believes that its game development expertise is better than Niantic’s enhanced reality (AR) technology orientation.
