Can't use my dGPU after an update...

I updated the entire system including the dGPU drivers (with the yay -S nvidia-580xx-dkms) and I can't use the GPU when I launch a game...
Usually, I were updating the system as I did and just launch the game and it automatically switch to dGPU and run the game with it but this time it doesnt
My nvidia drivers are the 580.178.04-2

Is it known?
How do I figure out what's the issue?

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.

Ftr, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA#Installation - you probably had/have nouveau in the initramfs and didn't update anything about that?
