Major App Outage Hits US, Marvel Snap Affected

Marvel Snap's US Shutdown: A ByteDance Fallout?

The recent offline status of Marvel Snap in the US coincides with the ban of TikTok, raising questions about a potential connection. The answer is yes, they are linked. Here's why.

The US ban impacts not only Marvel Snap, but also Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and CapCut. The common thread? All three are owned by ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok. Given the intense scrutiny TikTok faces from US lawmakers regarding national security and data privacy, ByteDance appears to have proactively removed these apps to preempt a broader crackdown.

While there's optimism for TikTok's potential, albeit temporary, return, the fate of other ByteDance-owned apps, including Marvel Snap, remains uncertain. A full and permanent ban would significantly impact these companies, considering the substantial US player base and revenue they generate.

The future of Marvel Snap in the US is currently unknown. For now, we await further developments. Players outside the US can continue enjoying the game via the Google Play Store.
