[GUIDE] Start your Stadia games via desktop/browser shortcuts

Hi,

I just want to share a trick I use to start my Stadia games directly from my desktop.
Maybe someone finds this usefull as well :slightly_smiling_face:

Step 1:

Navigate to the Store and find the game you want to directly start via desktop...

Step 3:

Press 'CTRL' + 'F' and type "data-p" on your keyboard.
Some code will highlight... Now copy the Text after the 

 

%.@."

 

In the case of Borderlands 3 for example it would be: be080ad40b434ca289166031d3e88623rcp1

Step 4:

Right click on your desktop and press "New" -> "Shortcut"
A window opens up, insert

 

https://stadia.google.com/player/

 

followed by your copied text 'be080ad40b434ca289166031d3e88623rcp1'

OR

Just add that link as a browser favourite shortcut in chrome... 

Result:

Borderlands 3 Game Start Link -> https://stadia.google.com/player/be080ad40b434ca289166031d3e88623rcp1

Note: Of course you have to claim / own the game for the link to work properly :winking_face:

You can get it way easier, just hold Esc key and u'll see same address in chrome url bar. But still. How can I launch shortcut as a window? Not in already opened chrome window.
