Newsbrief: After 15 years in the mobile game space, Scopely has announced a significant milestone: hitting $15 billion in lifetime revenue. The company counts major hits like Pokémon Go (and Monopoly Go) and other notable licensed projects like Marvel Strike Force and Star Trek Fleet Command in its portfolio, which, according to a press release, are part of the total package counting towards 150 billion hours of playtime.

"What started in 2011 as a small team working out of an office above the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles has grown into a global organization of more than 3,000 employees, or Scopeleans as we call ourselves, working across 30+ countries." reads a press release.

Scopely has made major acquisitions over the years that have helped it reach those numbers, including snapping up Pokémon Go developer Niantic, and nabbing a majority stake in Pixel Flow! studio Loom Games just last month. Scopely itself is under the ownership of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. The country's investment in games (which could include majority ownership of EA) has drawn criticism due to human rights controversies and accusations of abuse in the kingdom, including Prince Mohammed bin Salman's widely-reported links to the the murder of The Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi. The latter controversy was brought up again in a 2025 White House visit.
