Marvel Snap is embracing a bold new chapter as it transitions to self-publishing, marking a significant shift in its journey. With the turbulence of being removed from app stores due to the TikTok-related fallout and the subsequent publishing handover from ByteDance now behind it, the game is stepping forward under the full control of Second Dinner. This move ensures greater autonomy and paves the way for more direct engagement with the player community.
As part of this evolution, fans can now shop directly through the brand-new Marvel Snap web store. While the switch to self-publishing doesn’t alter the core gameplay experience—players will continue to enjoy the same fast-paced, dynamic card battles—the launch of the official web shop opens up exciting new possibilities.
The web shop introduces a fresh avenue for players to purchase high-value, one-time bundles, offering greater flexibility and exclusivity. Most notably, a special web-exclusive promo code, WEBLAUNCH, grants access to coveted cosmetic items: the Premium Mystery Variant and Premium Mystery Border. These digital collectibles add a unique flair to your collection and are only available through this direct channel.

Second Dinner’s decision to self-publish isn’t entirely unexpected. Led by Ben Brode, former game director of Hearthstone, the studio has consistently demonstrated a strong vision for Marvel Snap. After the abrupt challenges brought on by external corporate decisions, taking full control allows the team to operate independently and respond more nimbly to player feedback.
The introduction of the web shop also reflects a growing trend among developers: bypassing traditional app store restrictions to deliver better value and more direct monetization options. For players, this often means lower prices, exclusive content, and a more seamless purchasing experience.
As Marvel Snap enters this new era, fans are encouraged to stay updated and take advantage of the launch offers.
