If youre wondering why it was affected, Marvel Snap was developed by mobile studio Second Dinner and published by Nuverse, a subsidiary of TikTok owner ByteDance.

TikTok was also briefly unavailable, though service has since resumed in anticipation of an executive order that will be signed by incoming President Donald Trump. That does not appear to be the case for Marvel Snap , however, with many users on social media still reporting that they are completely unable to access the game.

The latest word from Second Dinner is that it has been working around the clock to bring Marvel Snap back up in the US and hope to have it back online within 24 hours.
