Raw
1.ps1
# For some reason it's super hard to find package names and their application IDs for Windows
# if you need one (for example for GloSC). Luckily you can also use this PowerShell oneliner
#
# Step:

# 2. Run the following command, replace the ApplicationName with your app name (eg. Gears 5, OuterWorlds, BloodStained)
