Summary
- Marvel Snap is back online in the U.S. after an accidental ban, but in-game purchases are still causing errors.
- Developer Second Dinner plans to bring more services in-house and find a new publisher to prevent similar issues in the future.
- Despite the setbacks, Marvel Snap is expected to continue with new events and collaborations in 2025.
Second Dinner officially announces that the Marvel Snap game is operational once again, with modifications forthcoming due to an unintentional ban in the U.S., along with TikTok. The past few days have been quite turbulent for Second Dinner and enthusiasts of the widely-loved Marvel Snap game.
On January 19th, the United States implemented the Protecting Americans From Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, leading to several apps from particular companies being prohibited, such as TikTok and Marvel Snap. This decision caught fans and even the game’s developer, Second Dinner, off guard. Despite TikTok swiftly resuming its operation, Marvel Snap faced a longer delay in its return.
On social media, Second Dinner has announced that Marvel Snap is operational once more, starting from January 21. However, it appears that this development hasn’t been entirely smooth for Second Dinner, given that the ban was due to Marvel Snap’s publisher being owned by ByteDance, and this isn’t the first instance of tension between layoffs and the sale of other gaming assets. Consequently, Second Dinner has disclosed that it is actively seeking a new publisher and aiming to bring more of its operations in-house to prevent similar incidents from recurring in the future. No further details were given, as the developer plans to release another update when more information becomes available.
Marvel Snap Making Major Changes Following U.S. Ban
Regrettably, things aren’t fully restored for Marvel Snap as the game is operational again, but certain aspects are still malfunctioning. For instance, numerous players are encountering issues with in-app purchases, an issue that Second Dinner has acknowledged and is currently addressing. Furthermore, potential players are unable to download the game from the App Store, posing a challenge given Marvel Snap’s popularity. In response to these problems, the developer has also confirmed they are working on solutions, although they anticipate it might take some time to rectify them.
2025 kicked off something massive for me as a gamer, with Marvel Snap becoming part of the Marvel Rivals collaboration. I never imagined a ban, but it’s clear now that the game’s popularity demanded it. This year is shaping up to be huge though, with more cross-universe events similar to the MCU on the horizon. Movies like Captain America: Brave New World and *Thunderbolts* are just around the corner, so fans can expect some serious crossover action!
