Marvel Snap is back online in the US after access was cut off Saturday night due to the law that banned TikTok and other ByteDance-owned apps. The game’s current publisher, Nuverse, is owned by ByteDance.
In a post published Monday evening, the game’s developer, Second Dinner, says that it plans to bring “more services in-house” and “partner with a new publisher” to prevent a similar situation from happening again. The same message is also showing up when you play the game, as shown in a screenshot posted on Reddit.
The game is still unavailable on the App Store or Google Play. The Steam listing is still live.
WHEW. MARVEL SNAP is back online in the U.S. But to make sure this NEVER happens again, we’re working to bring more services in-house and partner with a new publisher. This is the start of a new era for MARVEL SNAP.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday refusing to enforce the law banning TikTok and other apps owned by ByteDance, The Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, for 75 days, but companies still may face risks if they don’t follow the law.
