Marvel Snap and Other Apps Go Offline in US

The news of Marvel Snap being banned in the US has taken the gaming community by surprise, especially as it coincides with the ban of the popular app TikTok in the same region. These two events are indeed related, and here's the full story behind the sudden disappearance of Marvel Snap from US app stores.

Why the Ban on Marvel Snap in the US?

Marvel Snap isn't the only app affected; Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and CapCut have also been pulled offline in the US. The common thread here is ByteDance, the Chinese tech giant that owns not only TikTok but also these other apps and games. With TikTok facing intense scrutiny from US lawmakers over national security and data privacy concerns, ByteDance seems to have taken preemptive action by removing these apps to avoid a broader crackdown.

There's a glimmer of hope, though. If TikTok manages to secure a temporary reprieve, there's a chance that other ByteDance-owned apps and games, like Marvel Snap, could return to US app stores. The US market is crucial for ByteDance, contributing significantly to their revenue and player base. A permanent ban would be a major setback for the company.

As of now, it's uncertain whether the ban on Marvel Snap in the US will be lifted. We'll have to wait for further developments. In the meantime, gamers outside the US can continue enjoying Marvel Snap, which is still available on the Google Play Store.
