Hello,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

I have to say, you can't detect which package is game type with PackageManager api, and Package class does not contain such product kind property.

For your scenario, the better way is use app's StoreProduct to identify game app. Because StoreProduct has ProductKind property, if the value is Game, you could regard it as game app. For more info please refer to Get product info for apps and add-ons.

Thank you.
