The popular digital card game 'Marvel Snap' has been banned in the United States as part of a broader ban on apps linked to ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok. The ban, enacted on January 19, 2025, has led to the game being removed from app stores and cut off access for US gamers. 'Marvel Snap' is published by Nuverse, a ByteDance-owned company, which has also seen other apps like CapCut and Lemon8 affected by the same legislation. The game's developer, Second Dinner, expressed surprise at the takedown and is actively working to restore service in the US. Players have been met with a message stating that the game is temporarily unavailable due to the new law.
