The news of MLBB's ban in the USA has come as a shock to the gaming community, with many curious about the reason behind it. The developer, Moonton, released a notice on January 18, 2025, declaring the game will be "currently unavailable" in the USA. It's worth mentioning that the Moonton is a subsidiary of ByteDance, the company that owns TikTok.
Along with Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, the U.S. government has banned all games linked to ByteDance, such as Marvel Snap, due to national security. Consequently, all these applications have been made inaccessible on the App Store for the users in the region.
