Marvel Snap Goes Offline in the US along with Other Apps

Marvel Snap's US Shutdown: A ByteDance Fallout?

The recent offline status of Marvel Snap in the US coincides with the ban of TikTok, sparking questions about a connection. The answer is yes, they 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 crackdown.

While there's optimism for a potential, albeit temporary, TikTok return, the fate of other ByteDance apps, including Marvel Snap, remains uncertain. A full and permanent ban would significantly impact these companies, given the substantial US player base and revenue they generate.

For now, the future of Marvel Snap in the US is unclear. We await further developments. However, players outside the US can continue enjoying the game via the Google Play Store.
