Patch Highlights

The Marvel Snap experience is changing! We’re excited to present Snap Packs – a significant improvement on how you obtain new cards and expand your collection. Regardless if you’re a fresh recruit wanting to get up-to-speed, a veteran player looking to fill in the blanks, or an ardent fan craving the newest additions, Snap Packs provide an easier, smoother method to grow your collection.

In honor of the debut of Snap Packs, every player will be gifted a COMPLIMENTARY Series 5 Collector’s Pack straight to their inbox once they install the latest update!

What Are Snap Packs?

The Token Shop is transforming into a full-fledged Card Shop, bringing a host of exciting changes:

Snap Packages – Every package assures one unique card (no repeats!) and offers 2 extra incentives.*
Highlight & Rotating Featured Cards – These will stay accessible, at the same Token costs.
Daily Free Tokens – Log in daily to collect them!
Token Bundles – Acquire Tokens instantly by spending Gold from the Card Store.
Discover more about Snap Packages in our launch blog post.

Features

We’ve enhanced our cloud-based storage system for your Collection to make frequent operations quicker. This change is particularly noticeable when you redeem new rewards like Collection Track Rewards, Infinity Splits, or shop purchases, but numerous other operations will also run more swiftly now.

Upon your initial login following the update, you might experience a delay in loading times that is slightly longer than usual. This should be barely perceptible for most users, but players with extensive collections may encounter a temporary, one-time wait that is longer than normal. The larger your collection, the more noticeable the improvement will be.
