This is happening to me too. Just updated and have now experienced at least 5 crashes within 30 seconds of starting Photoshop. Tried resetting preferences, and disabling third party plugins. No dice. I'm gonna roll back until this is fixed.

I have the same problem with my Surface Go. The previous version worked without problem when I use pinch to zoom, now it crashes whenever I try. I will need to reinstall the previous version. This is annoying, please fix it.

@Micah Player Yes, I am on a Lenovo but works as the Studio and I have exactly the same problem. The same happens on my HP laptop

This is also happening to me on my Surface Studio 2. The moment I try to pinch to zoom or use two fingers to pan, everything freezes up and a crash error is generated.

When trying to navigate canvas with Cintiq, PS locks up.  I have to force close app.  After that I can't run PS. Only reinstall seems to work.

Does it crash out (disappears back to the desktop) or freeze, and you have to force quit?

I have to force quit.  Then trying to restart it gets stuck on the welcome screen a lot of times.  So I have to reinstall.  To be honest I am not even sure if it is only the touch functions of my tablet that cause it.  But last few times trying to pinch and zoom canvas did the app in.

I sent the crash report. I resinstall the previous version and everything is back to normal

@Giulio Zanni if you can submit a crash log I can confirm whether you're hitting the same issue @alanber or something different.

Thanks @alanber I found your submitted crash log. I've asked engineering to take a look.
