Marvel Snap goes offline in the United States in the wake of TikTok ban

Authore: HenryUpdate:Mar 01,2025

Marvel Snap's US removal follows the TikTok ban. ByteDance, TikTok's parent company and also the parent company of Second Dinner (Marvel Snap's developer), has pulled several gaming titles, seemingly in protest. The impact on Marvel Snap's availability remains uncertain.

The TikTok ban, driven by concerns from US politicians regarding its status as a "foreign adversary controlled application," extends to all apps published by ByteDance and its subsidiaries. ByteDance's action could be interpreted as a form of "malicious compliance," effectively leveraging the ban to galvanize Marvel Snap's player base against the political decision.

The removal of Marvel Snap and other ByteDance apps is likely to cause significant backlash among fans. The lack of prior warning from ByteDance suggests a deliberate strategy to amplify player outrage. For a clearer understanding of the ban, consult the official Congressional website.
