I'd like to add an Epic Games store game to a Play Action. I think I found the correct command "com.epicgames.launcher://apps/[game id]" but I can't find the game id for the game I want. I tried to copy the full shortcut that EGS made for the game but that only work when EGS is running.

Does anyone know the proper way to handle this situation? I suppose I could make a script to launch EGS then run the URL but that sounds like brute forcing a solution when there's probably a more elegant method.

The Epic plugin uses "com.epicgames.launcher://apps/{0}?action=launch&silent=true", where {0} is the GameId, which you can find under Edit Game > Advanced > Game Id. These seem to be either GUIDs without dashes or plant/animal names.

even simpler, you add an Epic game as playnite usually does. you then add all your other "play actions".
