Marvel Snap Goes Offline in the US along with Other Apps

Marvel Snap has faced a ban in the US, joining the ranks of other popular apps like TikTok, which have also been taken offline in the region. If you're wondering whether the ban on Marvel Snap is connected to TikTok's situation, the answer is yes. Let's dive deeper to understand the full story.

Why the Ban on Marvel Snap in the US?

The ban isn't limited to Marvel Snap alone. Other apps such as Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and CapCut have also been pulled from US app stores. The common thread? All these apps are owned by ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. If you've been following recent news, you're aware that TikTok has been under intense scrutiny by US lawmakers due to national security and data privacy concerns.

In an effort to mitigate a broader crackdown, ByteDance has proactively removed these apps from the US market. There's some optimism, however, that TikTok might return to the US, possibly on a temporary basis. Should this happen, it's likely that other ByteDance-owned games and apps, including Marvel Snap, could also reappear in US app stores.

The US represents a significant portion of the player base and revenue for these Chinese-owned gaming companies. A comprehensive ban across various apps and games could have serious financial implications for ByteDance.

As for the future of Marvel Snap in the US, it remains uncertain whether the ban will be lifted. We'll keep our fingers crossed for positive updates. In the meantime, if you're outside the US, you can continue enjoying Marvel Snap. You can find it on the Google Play Store.
