Marvel Snap has recently been banned in the US, alongside the popular app TikTok, sparking curiosity about whether these bans are interconnected. Indeed, they are. To understand the full story, keep reading.

Why the Ban on Marvel Snap in the US?

Alongside Marvel Snap, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and CapCut have also been taken offline in the US. The common thread here is ByteDance, the parent company behind all these apps, including TikTok. ByteDance has been facing intense scrutiny from US lawmakers over national security and data privacy concerns. In a strategic move to possibly avoid a broader crackdown, ByteDance has opted to pull these apps from the US market preemptively.

There is some optimism that TikTok might secure a temporary reprieve, which could pave the way for the return of ByteDance's other games and apps to US app stores. The US represents a significant portion of the player base and revenue for these Chinese-owned gaming companies, making a complete ban across their portfolio a major blow.

The future of Marvel Snap's ban in the US remains uncertain. We'll need to wait and see if the ban will be lifted. In the meantime, keep your fingers crossed. If you're outside the US, you can continue enjoying the game; just check it out on the Google Play Store.
