Marvel Snap was made unavailable in the US shortly after the TikTok ban went into effect on January 19. This was presumably because the game’s publisher, Nuverse, was owned at the time of its release by TikTok parent company Bytedance. However, TikTok has now come back online, but Marvel Snap hasn’t yet.
“Unfortunately, Marvel Snap is temporarily unavailable in U.S. app stores and is unavailable to play in the US. This outage is a surprise to us and wasn’t planned,” said Marvel Snap developer Second Dinner. “Marvel Snap isn’t going anywhere. We’re actively working on getting the game up as soon as possible and will update you once we have more to share.”
In under 24 hours since its ban in the US, TikTok has restored service. Marvel Snap, at this time, however, is still unavailable for US players. It’s unknown when and if the game will come back online.
Last week, the US Supreme Court voted to uphold the ban of TikTok and the app subsequently shut its service down in the country. Bytedance previously divested from Nuverse in 2023, so it’s unclear why Marvel Snap went offline in the US or if it was intentional.
Marvel Snap has been a success, both critically and commercially. The free-to-play card game reportedly made 2 million in revenue during its first week after launch. In GameSpot’s Marvel Snap review, we said, “Marvel Snap is an elegantly simple and inventive approach to digital CCGs that emphasizes adaptation and creativity.”
