Marvel Snap Banned in U.S. on January 19, 2025, Due to ByteDance Connection
Jan 19, 2025, 08:57 AM
The popular digital card game Marvel Snap has been banned in the United States due to its connection to ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok. The ban, which took effect on January 19, 2025, was a result of a U.S. law aimed at prohibiting apps owned by ByteDance unless they were divested. Marvel Snap, developed by Second Dinner and published by ByteDance's Nuverse, was unexpectedly affected by this law, leading to its removal from U.S. app stores and making it unavailable for play within the country. Second Dinner expressed surprise at the takedown and stated they are working to restore the game's availability as soon as possible.
