Marvel Snap has been pulled from US app stores, joining other ByteDance-owned apps like Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and CapCut in a preemptive move by the company. This action comes amidst growing US government scrutiny of ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, over national security and data privacy concerns.
The ban is directly linked to the ongoing debate surrounding TikTok's presence in the US. To mitigate potential further regulatory action, ByteDance appears to have proactively removed these apps.
While the future remains uncertain, there's hope for a potential reinstatement of TikTok, which could lead to the return of Marvel Snap and other affected apps to US app stores. The US market represents a significant portion of revenue and player base for these games, making a prolonged ban detrimental to ByteDance.
For now, the status of Marvel Snap in the US is unclear. Players outside the US can continue to enjoy the game, available on the Google Play Store. We'll continue to update you as more information becomes available.
