Wouldn’t it make sense to also have the old version of the game live and gradually roll out the new version for mobile

You can do this but if it's too granular (like you have no concept of version compatibility) then it can heavily split your matchmaking.

Plus the headaches of keeping many out of date builds up to date enough to deploy.

Even if you don't care about in game compatibility, all your servers still talk to some centralized data store and that will likely want a single deploy that handles old clients
