Marvel Snap Gets Caught Up In TikTok Ban, Currently Unavailable In The US

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."

Marvel Snap has also disappeared from app stores and even if you have it installed, you can't currently play it.

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.
