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

Author:Kristen Update:Feb 19,2025

The recent TikTok ban in the United States has unexpectedly impacted the availability of Marvel Snap. ByteDance, TikTok's parent company and also the publisher of Marvel Snap through its subsidiary Second Dinner, has removed the popular card game from app stores in the US, seemingly in response to the ban.

The TikTok ban, fueled by concerns from US politicians regarding potential foreign influence, extends to all applications published by ByteDance and its affiliates. ByteDance's action could be interpreted as a form of protest, albeit one that has angered many Marvel Snap players.

The removal of Marvel Snap is likely to cause continued outrage among fans. The lack of prior warning from ByteDance might have been a deliberate tactic to amplify player frustration and draw attention to the political situation. For a deeper understanding of the ban, consult the official Congressional website.

Players outside the US remain unaffected and can continue enjoying the game, perhaps using our Marvel Snap tier list to optimize their decks. The future availability of Marvel Snap in the US remains uncertain.
