Marvel Snap Taken Down in U.S. Due to Government’s TikTok Ban

Due to the U.S. government’s prohibition on the use of the Chinese video-sharing app TikTok, the play of Marvel Snap, a digital collectible card game created by Second Dinner, is temporarily unavailable in the United States. This is because the same company that owns TikTok also manages Marvel Snap publisher Nuverse.

Suddenly, the developer unexpectedly removed the widely-played card game, leaving American players puzzled with no prior notice.

Oh Snap

On January 18th evening, TikTok was shut down in the U.S., following the implementation of a law forbidding social media apps like it. As a result, apps created by ByteDance (TikTok’s developer) are no longer accessible on mobile app stores, which regrettably includes Marvel Snap.

In the United States, gamers encountering login issues will find a message remarkably alike to what TikTok users have been seeing recently.

I’m sorry for any inconvenience, but Marvel Snap isn’t accessible at the moment due to a new law prohibiting its use in the U.S. As a result, you can’t log into Marvel Snap on your mobile device, computer, or through the game’s website within the United States. However, we are actively working on resuming our service in the U.S., so please keep an eye on updates regarding this matter. Thank you for your patience.

The game is not found when searching on the Google Play Store, and it’s stated that downloads for apps by ByteDance have been temporarily halted due to ongoing U.S. legal restrictions.

As a passionate fan, I can tell you that Second Dinner, the Marvel Snap developers, shared some news recently. They mentioned that both they and ByteDance were taken aback by the ban on TikTok which affected their game. In their own words, “Marvel Snap won’t vanish.” They are diligently working to get the game back up and running as soon as possible, promising to keep us updated with any new developments.
