The recent ban of Marvel Snap in the US has sent shockwaves through the gaming community, especially since it coincided with the ban of the immensely popular app, TikTok. Both bans are indeed connected, and here's why.
Why Was Marvel Snap Banned in the US?
Marvel Snap isn't the only app affected; Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and CapCut have also been taken offline in the US. The common thread linking these apps? They're all owned by ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. Given TikTok's recent scrutiny by US lawmakers over national security and data privacy concerns, ByteDance seems to have chosen to pull these apps preemptively to avoid a broader crackdown.
There's a glimmer of hope that TikTok might return to the US market, at least temporarily. If that happens, it could pave the way for ByteDance's other apps and games, including Marvel Snap, to reappear on US app stores. The US represents a significant portion of the player base and revenue for these Chinese-owned gaming companies, making a full ban a major setback.
The future of Marvel Snap in the US remains uncertain. While we wait for more updates, let's keep our fingers crossed for its return. For those outside the US, you can continue enjoying the game, available on the Google Play Store.
