The reported crashes began after the eFootball PES 2020 Mobile update released on October 15, 2019. A notice attributed to the PES Development Team said Konami planned to re-upload a fixed version on October 17, while maintenance delays moved the pre-open period to October 18 at 08:00 UTC. The notice does not establish exactly how long maintenance was extended.
What caused the PES 2020 Mobile crashes?
According to a notice attributed to the PES Development Team and reproduced in a community search result, some users experienced crashes after installing the October 15, 2019 update. The notice did not identify a specific device, operating system, or technical cause, so it does not support a more precise explanation. The Reddit page containing the repost was inaccessible during review; the incident details are therefore attributed to the notice as reproduced in the search result, rather than to a directly inspected Konami archive. Read the reproduced notice.
What fix did Konami announce?
The notice said Konami planned to re-upload a fixed version to the app store on October 17, 2019. This was an announced remedy, not confirmation in the notice that every affected player had successfully installed it or that all crashes were resolved.
When was maintenance scheduled to end?
The notice said the remaining maintenance work required postponing the pre-open period to October 18, 2019, at 08:00 UTC. It did not state the exact length of the extension. The October dates in the notice refer to the update and pre-open schedule, not the game’s later global release.

Who might still have had trouble after updating?
The notice warned that users whose last login was between December 13 and December 20, 2018, and who had not logged in since, might continue to encounter the issue after updating to version 4.0.1. It said another update was planned for those users, but the reproduced notice does not provide a release date or further technical details.
How does this timeline relate to the global mobile launch?
Konami separately announced that eFootball PES 2020 Mobile became globally available as a free download for iOS and Android on October 31, 2019. That launch date came after the October 15–18 update and pre-open events; it should not be confused with the maintenance schedule. Konami’s global launch announcement and official product page provide launch and product background, not confirmation of the game’s current availability or support status.
