Marvel Snap has been banned in the US, a move that coincides with the ban of the popular app TikTok. This isn't a coincidence; both are owned by ByteDance, the company currently facing intense scrutiny from US lawmakers over national security and data privacy concerns.
Why the US Ban on Marvel Snap?
The ban affects not only Marvel Snap, but also Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and CapCut – all ByteDance properties. This preemptive action by ByteDance appears to be an attempt to avoid a wider crackdown.
While the future remains uncertain, there's hope for a temporary return of TikTok, which could potentially pave the way for the reinstatement of other ByteDance apps, including Marvel Snap. The US market represents a significant portion of these games' player base and revenue, making a prolonged ban highly detrimental.
For now, the fate of Marvel Snap in the US remains unknown. Players outside the US can continue enjoying the game, readily available on the Google Play Store. We'll keep you updated on any developments.
