Intrusive interstitials can impact rankings on both desktop and mobile. The policy hasn’t changed: interstitials with mandatory countdown timers are problematic. On mobile, all full-screen interstitials are discouraged, even with a close button. On desktop, only those with countdown timers are penalized.
