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

by Liam Mar 06,2025

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 game's future on US mobile platforms remains uncertain.

The TikTok ban, driven by concerns from US politicians about a "foreign adversary controlled application," has broader implications, affecting all ByteDance-published apps. ByteDance's action could be interpreted as "malicious compliance," effectively leveraging the ban to galvanize Marvel Snap's player base against the political decision.

The removal is likely to cause significant backlash from players. The lack of prior warning from ByteDance might have been a deliberate tactic to amplify fan outrage. For a deeper understanding, consult the official Congressional documentation regarding the ban.
