How to change launch option on the steam app? - eviltoast

Hi all, I have a 4k monitor and the steam app is very tiny. I have found out that I can fix it by running the app in the terminal with steam -forcedesktopscaling 2, but it is getting tiring launching it through the terminal. Is there any way I can change something in the app itself and make it launch with that command? KDE Plasma on endeavour OS is what I’m running Tried going into the .desktop file to add the command somewhere in the “exec”, but failed. Could someone please help? Thank you

    you need the whole line to be like Exec=/usr/bin/env GDK_SCALE=2 /usr/bin/steam %U

    I was just being lazy as I was on mobile at the time

    /usr/bin/steam should be a link to /usr/bin/steam-runtime aswell
