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 follows a similar fate for popular app TikTok. This isn't a coincidence; both apps share a common owner: ByteDance. Let's delve into the reasons behind this unexpected development.

Why the US Ban?

Marvel Snap wasn't alone; Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and CapCut also faced the same fate. The common thread? All three are ByteDance properties, placing them squarely in the crosshairs of current US national security and data privacy concerns surrounding TikTok. To preempt a more extensive crackdown, ByteDance appears to have proactively removed these apps.

A Potential Return?

While the future remains uncertain, there's hope for a TikTok comeback, even if temporary. Should that occur, other ByteDance apps, including Marvel Snap, could potentially reappear on US app stores.

The Stakes Are High

The US market represents a substantial portion of revenue and player base for these Chinese-owned companies. A permanent ban across all their apps would be a significant blow.

The Verdict?

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