Nvidia version 570.153.02 is already in the Unstable & Testing branch repos:

mbn can be found in the manjaro-check-repos package

I can’t say how long it will take to reach Stable branch, however switching branches to get the newer version is a very simple process:

To switch to Testing branch:

sudo pacman-mirrors --api --set-branch testing

or, to switch to Unstable branch:

sudo pacman-mirrors --api --set-branch unstable

After you changed the branch, rebuild the mirrorlist and update your packages:

sudo pacman-mirrors --continent && sudo pacman -Syu

@scotty65 has more than answered that question; however, I thought the following might interest you, especially with the inevitable move to Wayland looming;
