Marvel Snap Receives Surprise Suspension in US as US TikTok Ban Takes Effect


Marvel Snap has been banned in the United States.

While 170 million American TikTokers anticipated the app’s suspension after the US Supreme Court upheld a decision to ban the Chinese app over security concerns, Marvel Snap players in the US have also been affected given that publisher Nuverse is also owned by TikTok owner ByteDance.

According to developer Second Dinner, the ban came as a “surprise” to both the team and the players.

“Sorry, Marvel Snap is not available at this time,” the app says to all US players.

“A law has been passed banning Marvel Snap in the US. Unfortunately, that means you can’t use Marvel Snap for now.

“Rest assured, we are working to restore our service in the US,” the brief statement concludes. “Please stay tuned!”

Developer Second Dinner also addressed players on social media, insisting that the “outage” was “a surprise to us and was not planned.”

“Marvel Snap isn’t going anywhere,” the team insisted. “We are actively working to make the game available as soon as possible and will update you once we have more to share.”

At the time of writing, it is unclear how long the game will be offline.

In late 2023, ByteDance restructured its video game business, including Nuverse, calling the changes a “difficult” decision to make.
