Hot take: Just stick to Steam games. The artwork automatically syncs, and you won't have to fuss with manual setups. Why bother?

First off, you're gonna wanna add your non-Steam game to your Steam library. Right-click it in Big Picture Mode and select 'Manage Shortcut.' From there, you can click 'Choose Icon' and pick any image stored on your Steam Deck. Make sure the image is a .png or .jpg for the best compatibility!
