How do you create game shortcut on EA Desktop APP?

@DrearyDreamzYou can be right in that there isn't an option to add a shortcut while installing a game through the EA Desktop app. I'm not in position to say either way, but it could be by design. Perhaps the thought was that you would be using the app to launch the games anyway, so there is no need to add a functionality of creating launch shortcuts for the games to desktop and/or Start menu.

I guess you should voice your opinion on this in the Feedback forum so that it might be considered a feature to be added.

In the meantime, you can do a bit of work yourself and use file explorer to navigate to the install location of the game, and manually create the shortcut to the game executable.

Now you can create shortcut, you need to go to the game folder (Titanfall 2 as example), find Titanfall2.exe and create shortcut, by launching exe or shortcut EA Desktop App will be launched automatically

@BARON_Patatoz That's kinda strange, I will test on other games then. It works for Titanfall 2 for me (EA Play included in Xbox Game Pass Ultimate)

Is the game launching if you start it with EA Desktop?

I am wanting to create a desktop shortcut for Battlefield V which i downloaded with the EA and Xbox collab thing

Having the same issue with BF4 and V and honestly.... Im just gonna use the desktop app to launch. Keep finding different answers that work differently for each game, and also seeing that people are having an error launching even after completing all of the advice. ☹️

open file explorer and navigate to the location of the install. (C:\Program Files (x86) or the directory you chose on install. locate the game folder and open it. right click the  application and select "send to" select "desktop"  and you will have the short cut. 

It may appear slow to start as it opens the desktop app 1st but it does start the games

NO DO NOT DO THIS VERY BROKE
