Marvel Snap Goes Offline in the US along with Other Apps

Marvel Snap's US Shutdown: A ByteDance Fallout?

The recent unavailability of Marvel Snap in the US follows the controversial ban of TikTok, sparking questions about a potential connection. The answer is yes, these events are linked. Here's why.

The US ban affects not only Marvel Snap, but also Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and CapCut. The common thread? All three are owned by ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok. Given the intense scrutiny TikTok faces from US lawmakers regarding national security and data privacy, ByteDance appears to have proactively removed these apps to preempt a broader regulatory crackdown.

While there's speculation of a potential, albeit temporary, TikTok return, the fate of other ByteDance apps, including Marvel Snap, remains uncertain. Their reinstatement hinges on TikTok's success in navigating the current political landscape.

This situation carries significant weight for ByteDance. The US market represents a substantial portion of their player base and revenue. A prolonged ban on these games and apps would undoubtedly have severe financial repercussions.

The future of Marvel Snap in the US is currently unresolved. We await further developments and remain hopeful for a reversal of the ban. For players outside the US, the game remains accessible via the Google Play Store.
