Had the same issue after an update yesterday. Downgrading libgudev and lib32-libgudev to version 237-2 as mentioned in the following thread fixed it for me => https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/9805

Hello @wantija, as @toshokanneko noted, this is most likely a duplicate of #9805. Can you check if installing one of the packages mentioned in https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/9805#issuecomment-1626486059 gets the Steam client running again for you?

Hi, yes installing lib32-libudev0-shim fixes the problem for me.
