here's a quick solution,it's not a professional solution but it's enough to get some idea so that you can achieve the result what are you looking for. Again, i emphasize that you use this code as an idea not as a final solution because of poor quality.All the best

Code

public class GameInfo
    {
        public string GameName { get; set; }
        public string GameCover { get; set; }
        public string GamePath { get; set; }
        public string GameLunchPath { get; set; }
    }

    public partial class MainWindow : Window
    {
        private List<GameInfo> myInstalledGames = new List<GameInfo>();

        public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

        }

        public void  ChekGames()
        {
            Dictionary<string,string> gamepath = new Dictionary<string, string>()
            {
               {"Windows","GameName1"},
               {"Users","GameName2"},
               {"Temp","GameName3"}
            };

            foreach(KeyValuePair<string,string> item in gamepath)
            {
                if(Directory.Exists($@"C:\{item.Key}"))
                {
                    myInstalledGames.Add(GameData(item.Value));
                }
            }
        }

        public GameInfo GameData(string gamename)
        {
            Dictionary<string, GameInfo> gamepath = new Dictionary<string, GameInfo>()
            {
               {"GameName1",new GameInfo(){GameName="Game 1",GameCover="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/db/Apex_legends_cover.jpg" } },
               {"GameName2",new GameInfo(){GameName="Game 2",GameCover="https://www.mobygames.com/images/covers/l/33719-half-life-counter-strike-xbox-front-cover.jpg" }},
               {"GameName3",new GameInfo(){GameName="Game 3",GameCover="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/47/Tom_Clancy%27s_Rainbow_Six_Siege_cover_art.jpg/220px-Tom_Clancy%27s_Rainbow_Six_Siege_cover_art.jpg" }}
            };

            if (gamepath.ContainsKey(gamename) == true)
            {
                return gamepath[gamename];
            }
            else
                return null;
        }

        private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            myInstalledGames.Clear();
            GameListConteiner.Children.Clear();
            ChekGames();
        }

        private void load_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            GameListConteiner.Children.Clear();
            foreach(var item in myInstalledGames)
            {              
                var gamecover = new GameCover();
                gamecover.Height = 350;
                gamecover.Width = 250;
                gamecover.Margin = new Thickness(5);
                gamecover.gameName.Text = item.GameName;
                gamecover.imgGameCover.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri(item.GameCover));
                GameListConteiner.Children.Add(gamecover);
            }
        }
    }

Basically keep an online and up-to-date list of games, and cross reference it with locally installed apps. You may have to iterate through the list of installed programs in the registry to get this. And you may have to write a custom function that can pull installed app id's from Steam and pull details from an online API that tells you what game title is what app id.

Or use an already in existent service such as https://steamdb.info
