I don't know but you can just hit the windows key and start typing the name of the game. :)

Gnome doesn't really encourage the use of icons on desktops...it's an old way of starting programs and not really needed.

You should install it through the terminal or as a flatpak, that might fix the issue. You only download applications from the web on linux if there's no other way.
