Marvel Snap Goes Offline in the US along with Other Apps

Marvel Snap's US Shutdown: A ByteDance Fallout?

The recent US ban on Marvel Snap isn't an isolated incident. It coincides with the high-profile TikTok ban and, significantly, shares a common owner: ByteDance. This isn't a coincidence; the connection is undeniable.

Why the Ban? National Security and Data Privacy Concerns.

Marvel Snap, along with Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and CapCut, all ByteDance properties, have been proactively removed from US app stores. This preemptive action appears to be a response to growing US government scrutiny of ByteDance over national security and data privacy concerns surrounding TikTok.

A Potential Comeback?

While the future remains uncertain, there's a possibility of a temporary reinstatement for TikTok. Should this occur, it's likely that the other ByteDance apps, including Marvel Snap, could also return to US app stores.

Significant Impact on ByteDance.

The US market represents a substantial portion of revenue and player base for these Chinese-owned companies. A prolonged ban would have considerable negative consequences.

The Outlook for Marvel Snap.

The ultimate fate of Marvel Snap in the US remains unclear. For now, we await further developments. Players outside the US can continue enjoying the game via the Google Play Store.
