Regular updates keep your matches running smoothly and unlock everything the developers add to the game. If you want to make sure you’re always playing the best version of Marvel Snap, keep reading to learn the exact steps for every device.

Checking for updates on Mobile Devices (iOS and Android)

Mobile devices are the most common way to play MARVEL SNAP, and the process for checking for updates is handled entirely within your device’s respective app store. It is important to know that sometimes the update button does not appear automatically on the main updates list, requiring an extra step to force the check.

Updating MARVEL SNAP on iOS

To manually check for an update on your iPhone or iPad:

Open the App Store: Launch the App Store application.
Access Your Profile: Tap your profile icon located in the top-right corner of the screen.
Refresh the Updates List: On the Account screen, swipe down from the top of the list and release. This action refreshes the list of available updates.
Locate and Update: Scroll down through the list of pending updates. If MARVEL SNAP is listed, tap the “Update” button next to it to begin the download and installation.
Force Check (If Missing): If you know a major update was released but the game does not appear in your update list, use the search bar to search directly for “MARVEL SNAP.” If an update is ready, the button next to the app icon will display “Update” instead of “Open.”

Updating MARVEL SNAP on Android

To manually check for an update on your Android smartphone or tablet:

Open the Google Play Store: Launch the Google Play Store application.
Access Your Apps: Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner.
Navigate to Management: Select “Manage apps & device” from the menu.
Check Updates: Tap on “Updates available” or the option that shows pending updates.
Locate and Update: Find MARVEL SNAP in the list. If an update is available, tap the “Update” button next to the application. If it is not listed, your game is already running the latest version.
Important Note: Ensure you have a stable Wi-Fi connection, especially for large seasonal patches, to prevent cellular data overages and ensure a continuous download.

Updating MARVEL SNAP on PC via Game Clients

MARVEL SNAP is available for PC through both the Steam client and the Epic Games Store, and both platforms handle updates similarly through their built-in library management systems.

Updating via Steam

Steam typically handles updates automatically, but you can manually force a check or configure your preferences:

Open the Steam Client: Launch the Steam desktop application.
Go to the Library: Navigate to your “Library” and find MARVEL SNAP in your list of games.
Force Update Check: In the Steam client, updates generally start automatically. If you suspect an update is missing, simply restart the Steam client or try to launch the game. Steam will usually initiate the download immediately if a required patch is found.
Manage Update Settings: For per-game control, right-click MARVEL SNAP in your Library, select “Properties,” and go to the “Updates” tab. Here, you can choose to “Always keep this game updated” (the default) or set it to “Update only when I launch it,” which temporarily pauses automatic background downloads.

Updating via Epic Games Store

The Epic Games Launcher also manages updates in the background, but the settings are easily accessible for manual control:

Open the Epic Games Launcher: Launch the desktop application.
Go to the Library: Click on the “Library” tab in the sidebar and locate MARVEL SNAP.
Check for Update/Manage: Click the three dots (…) next to the game title, and select “Manage.”
Toggle Auto Update: Ensure the toggle bar next to “Auto Update” is set to the “On” (blue) position. If an update is available, the client should begin the download automatically. If a download is paused, you can resume it manually from the “Downloads” section, usually found in the bottom-left corner of the client.

Enabling automatic updates for seamless play

The best way to guarantee you never miss new content or crucial bug fixes is by enabling automatic updates on your devices. This setting manages all your applications, not just MARVEL SNAP.

On iOS: Go to Settings > App Store, and under the Automatic Downloads section, toggle on “App Updates.” This allows the app store to download new versions of MARVEL SNAP (and other apps) without any manual intervention.
On Android: Open the Google Play Store, tap your profile icon > Settings > Network preferences > Auto-update apps. Select “Over Wi-Fi only” to avoid using cellular data.
On PC (Steam/Epic Games): Both PC clients have automatic updates enabled by default. Ensure the “Auto Update” setting is enabled for MARVEL SNAP within the game’s properties/management section to guarantee the client always downloads the latest version when it is open or during scheduled download windows.

Troubleshooting common update issues

Occasionally, you may encounter an issue where MARVEL SNAP fails to update or you experience login problems immediately after a patch. Here are key troubleshooting steps:

Check Connection Stability: Update downloads require a stable connection. If your download is slow or stalls, switch from Wi-Fi to a wired Ethernet connection (on PC) or toggle your Wi-Fi/Cellular data off and on (on mobile).
Restart the Application/Client: A simple restart of the game client (Steam/Epic) or a force-close and relaunch of the app store (iOS/Android) often resolves temporary caching issues that prevent the update button from appearing.
Clear Cache (Android/PC): Clearing the app’s cache can fix corrupted files.
- Android: Go to Settings > Apps > MARVEL SNAP > Storage > Clear Cache.
- PC (Steam/Epic): Use the platform’s built-in Verify Integrity of Game Files (Steam) or Verify (Epic Games) feature, which automatically scans for and replaces corrupted files without redownloading the entire game.
Check Storage Space: Large patches require adequate free storage. Verify that your device has sufficient space for the update to download and install.
Reinstall the Game (Last Resort): If all else fails, fully uninstall MARVEL SNAP and then reinstall it from the official app store or client. Ensure your account is properly linked (Google/Apple/Steam/Epic) before uninstalling to prevent loss of progress.

Conclusion

Keeping MARVEL SNAP updated ensures you’re always experiencing the game at its best, with new content, smoother performance, and essential bug fixes. By knowing exactly how to update the game on any device and enabling automatic updates, you avoid interruptions and jump straight into each season fully prepared. Just update, log in, and enjoy everything MARVEL SNAP has to offer.
