Is Pokemon Go owned by Saudi company now?

I guess so. Actually more like owned by the SA state. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scopely

[Scopely] is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Savvy Games Group, an entity founded and managed by the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, which purchased Scopely for $8.9 billion in 2023.

On March 12, 2025, Niantic, Inc. announced plans to sell the majority of its video game division to Scopely in a reported $3.5 billion deal, including games Pokémon Go, Pikmin Bloom, and Monster Hunter Now, and companion apps Campfire and Wayfarer.

That’s crazy that another country can just direct traffic of millions of US citizens with shiny Pokemon
