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

Marvel Snap's US removal follows the TikTok ban. ByteDance, TikTok's parent company and also the parent company of Second Dinner (Marvel Snap's developer), has pulled several games, seemingly in protest. The impact on Marvel Snap's availability is currently unknown.

The TikTok ban, driven by concerns from US politicians about potential foreign influence, extends to all ByteDance applications and subsidiaries. ByteDance's action could be interpreted as "malicious compliance," intentionally provoking a backlash from Marvel Snap fans to raise awareness of the ban.

The removal of Marvel Snap and other ByteDance apps is generating significant fan outrage. The political impact remains uncertain, but the lack of advance warning suggests a deliberate attempt to galvanize public reaction.

Further details on the ban can be found on the official Congress website. Players outside the affected regions can still access our Marvel Snap card tier list to build optimal decks.
