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

By GabriellaFeb 25,2025

Marvel Snap's US Removal Following TikTok Ban

The weekend brought unwelcome news for Marvel Snap fans in the United States. Following the TikTok ban, publisher ByteDance, also the parent company of Marvel Snap's developer Second Dinner, has pulled the popular card game from US app stores. This appears to be a form of protest against the ban.

The TikTok ban, fueled by concerns from US politicians about its potential as a "foreign adversary controlled application," extends to all apps published by ByteDance and its subsidiaries. ByteDance's swift action could be interpreted as "malicious compliance," effectively leveraging the ban to galvanize Marvel Snap's player base against the political decision.

The removal of Marvel Snap, along with other ByteDance apps, is likely to cause significant backlash from fans. The impact of this on the political landscape remains uncertain, but the lack of advance warning from ByteDance suggests a deliberate attempt to generate outrage and public outcry.

For more details on the ban, consult the official Congressional website. Players outside the US can still access the game and utilize our Marvel Snap tier list to build powerful decks. The future availability of Marvel Snap in the US remains unclear.
