Overview
Firewatch runs natively at 21:9 and 32:9 with no black bars, confirmed by a WSGF Gold ultrawidescreen award. The default vertical FOV (55) is low and cannot be changed in-game; a third-party registry-edit FOV changer exists but its GitHub repo is archived (unmaintained), so treat it as a use-at-your-own-risk convenience rather than a guaranteed fix.
