Hello @helioloureiro, can you clarify if you're using Steam with the desktop client or Big Picture mode? If it's the latter, then you may have encountered #7874.
Does any 32 bit OpenGL application like glxinfo from a 32 bit build of mesa-utils work? Unfortunately, Ubuntu doesn't provide a 32 bit builds of this package on 20.04, so maybe try unpacking https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/i386/mesa-utils/download with an archive utility and using the utility without installing it to the system.
Thanks for the quick response @kisak-valve. The problem is the same and the solution worked here as well.
Thanks a lot!

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
I left it installing Metro Exodus (75 GB) and when came back to check, application just crashed.
I tried to restart, but I just got a black screen.
I updated my system to the latest version running on nvidia-460 firmware and got the same black screen.
I downloaded the deb package and reinstalled, but same result.
Starting by console I can see it gets stalled after these messages:
