Marvel Snap has been pulled from US app stores. This follows the recent ban of TikTok in the US, and the two events are linked. Let's break down why.
Why the US Removal of Marvel Snap?
Marvel Snap, along with Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and CapCut, have all been made unavailable in the US. These apps share a common owner: ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok. Given the intense scrutiny TikTok is facing from US lawmakers regarding national security and data privacy, ByteDance appears to have proactively removed these apps to preempt further action.
There's a possibility of a temporary return for TikTok, which could pave the way for the reinstatement of these other ByteDance apps in US app stores. The US market represents a significant portion of revenue and players for these Chinese-owned companies, making a permanent ban a severe blow.
The future of Marvel Snap's availability in the US remains uncertain. We'll continue to update you as more information becomes available. For players outside the US, the game remains accessible on the Google Play Store.
