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 has sparked questions, especially given the concurrent ban of TikTok. The connection? Both apps share a parent company: ByteDance. This isn't an isolated incident; Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and CapCut have also been removed from US app stores.

The reason? ByteDance is facing intense scrutiny from US lawmakers regarding national security and data privacy concerns. This preemptive app removal appears to be an attempt to mitigate a broader regulatory crackdown.

While there's speculation of a potential TikTok return (at least temporarily), the fate of other ByteDance-owned apps, including Marvel Snap, remains uncertain. The US market represents a significant portion of these companies' player bases and revenue streams, 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 via the Google Play Store.
