'''Xigua Video''' (西瓜视频, Xīguā shìpín), originally launched in 2016 as ''Toutiao Video'', has transformed into a versatile digital hub catering to both creators and viewers. Starting as a platform for user-generated short and medium-length clips, it later expanded into producing original films and TV shows, blending grassroots creativity with professional entertainment.
The rebranded platform combines its roots in casual, bite-sized content with curated high-quality programming, positioning itself as a dual-force player in China’s digital content landscape. Key to its evolution is its focus on diverse formats—from quick viral videos to polished episodic productions—making it a one-stop destination for varied viewer preferences
=== Nuverse ===
Nuverse, established in 2019 as ByteDance’s gaming arm, expanded globally with Warhammer 40,000: Lost Crusade (2021) and acquired Moonton the same year after outbidding Tencent. Its breakout title Marvel Snap (2022) launched after testing in the Philippines and New Zealand.
By November 2023, ByteDance began restructuring Nuverse to exit gaming. In January 2025, Marvel Snap faced a 3-day US ban before restoration under revised policies, returning to the App Store by January 27.
