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 is linked to the broader ban of TikTok, both owned by ByteDance. This isn't a coincidence; the move appears to be a preemptive measure by ByteDance to mitigate escalating national security and data privacy concerns from US lawmakers.

This preemptive action also affected Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and CapCut, fellow ByteDance properties. The company likely chose to pull these apps to avoid a more extensive crackdown.

While there's speculation of a potential, albeit temporary, TikTok return, the fate of Marvel Snap and other ByteDance games remains uncertain. The US market represents a significant portion of revenue and players for these Chinese-owned companies, making a prolonged ban a considerable blow.

For now, the future of Marvel Snap in the US is unclear. However, players outside the US can continue enjoying the game, readily available on the Google Play Store.
