Overview

PCGamingWiki and WSGF both rate ultrawide as supported (WSGF gold for ultrawide, silver for multi-monitor). Gameplay is Hor+ so you see more of the map, and FMV cutscenes are pillarboxed. UI anchoring at 32:9 (minimap and toolbars at screen edges) was not verified by text, so it is not rated excellent.
