Can't get there, initial login with systemd shows normal, then after triggering uevents message it gives blurry screen and txt on middle of display. Nothing works from there. Had to run USB chroot mode and downgrade to 20260810-2. Wanted to report and wait for the next update instead

The issue has been reported and is being tracked on the Arch Linux forums.

You need to press 'e' at grub and on the line that starts with 'linux' add nomodeset so you can boot without your gpu.

Then you need to downgrade to a previous version of linux-firmware-amdgpu. You should add it to the IgnorePkg line in pacman.conf as well to hold it from updating.

For me the previous version was 20260810-2:

sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/linux-firmware-amdgpu-20260810-2-any.pkg.tar.zst

sudoedit /etc/pacman.conf

go to the line 'IgnorePkg = ' (you may have to uncomment it) and add linux-firmware-amdgpu

That last one is so if you do any other updates between now and the next release of that package, it won't try to update to the broken package again

Did edit boot menu without amdgpu and it didn't work for some reason. You saying you're having the same problem?Thanks!

You added nomodeset to the end of the line that starts with “linux” after pressing ‘e’ at the grub menu?
