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

Author : Stella Mar 16,2025

The weekend brought unwelcome news for Marvel Snap fans in the United States: the game has been pulled from release. This action follows the ban on TikTok, another ByteDance property. ByteDance, through its subsidiary Second Dinner, publishes Marvel Snap, and this removal appears to be a response to the TikTok ban.

The TikTok ban, driven by concerns from American politicians about a "foreign adversary controlled application," has broader implications than initially anticipated. It affects all apps published by ByteDance and its subsidiaries, inadvertently impacting Marvel Snap.

ByteDance's action could be interpreted as a form of "malicious compliance," effectively leveraging the ban to generate negative public reaction towards the political decision. This strategy appears to have successfully angered Marvel Snap players, drawing attention to the ban's wider consequences.

The removal of Marvel Snap and other ByteDance-published apps is likely to continue fueling outrage among fans. The political impact remains uncertain, but the lack of advance warning from ByteDance suggests a deliberate attempt to maximize the negative response.

For a clearer understanding of the ban, refer to the official Congressional website. Players outside the affected regions can still consult our Marvel Snap tier list to build powerful decks.
