How do I make a shortcut to game in my library after installation?

Hey Lucifiish​ Onebay1​  -- you don’t need to reinstall to get a desktop shortcut.

The EA app doesn’t currently surface a “create shortcut” button after install, but you can safely create one manually without running into issues if you point to the correct file:

Option 1 (recommended):

1. Open the EA app
2. Go to Library
3. Click the three dots (…) on your game tile
4. Select View properties
5. Copy the Install location
6. Navigate to that folder in File Explorer
7. Right-click the game’s main .exe → Send to → Desktop (create shortcut)

Important:
Make sure you’re selecting the actual game executable (usually named after the game), not an installer or anti-cheat launcher — that’s what typically causes the issues you mentioned.

Option 2 (alternative):

• Launch the game once from the EA app
• Then check your Start Menu → Recently added
• You can right-click → More → Open file location → create a shortcut from there
