Marvel Snap and Other Apps Go Offline in US

Marvel Snap has been banned in the US, and this news comes alongside the ban of the popular app TikTok in the US. These two events are indeed related, so keep reading to get the full story.

Why the Ban on Marvel Snap in the US?

In addition to Marvel Snap, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and CapCut have also been taken offline in the region. The reason? All these apps are owned by ByteDance, the same company that owns TikTok. If you've been following the news, you know that TikTok has been a major topic for US lawmakers due to national security and data privacy concerns.

To avoid a broader crackdown, ByteDance has decided to preemptively pull these apps from the US market. However, there is hope that TikTok might make a temporary comeback. If that happens, it could pave the way for the other ByteDance-owned games and apps to return to US app stores as well.

The US represents a significant portion of the player base and revenue for these Chinese-owned gaming companies. A full ban on their games and apps could have serious financial implications.

As for whether the ban on Marvel Snap in the US will be lifted, only time will tell. Until we have more information, we can only hope for the best. Meanwhile, players outside the US can continue enjoying the game, available on the Google Play Store.
