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, raising questions about a possible connection. The answer is yes, they are linked. Here's why.

The Reason Behind the Ban

Marvel Snap isn't alone. Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and CapCut have also been removed from US app stores. The common thread? All three are owned by ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok. Given the intense scrutiny TikTok is facing from US lawmakers regarding national security and data privacy, ByteDance appears to have proactively pulled these apps to preempt a wider ban.

A Potential Comeback?

While the situation remains uncertain, there's a possibility of TikTok, and consequently, other ByteDance apps, returning to US app stores – at least temporarily.

The Stakes are High

The US market represents a significant portion of the player base and revenue for these Chinese-owned companies. A permanent ban would have severe consequences.

The Future of Marvel Snap in the US

Only time will tell if the ban on Marvel Snap will be lifted. For now, we wait and hope for a resolution. Players outside the US can continue to enjoy the game via the Google Play Store.
