Overview
Gears of War: E-Day supports 21:9 and 32:9 Hor+ gameplay natively with a 60-90 FOV slider. Its Cinematic Ultrawide Support toggle (on by default at 21:9) fills the screen in cutscenes by cropping them Vert-, so you lose some of the top and bottom of the shot; switching it off brings back letterboxing.

Patch history & verification
Current Steam buildOct 17, 2026
PCGW (refcheck 2026-10-06, 3440x1440): native 21:9/32:9 Hor+, Cinematic Ultrawide Support toggle. Thin sourcing (PCGW only); HUD placement and menu width not documented, conservative values used. Rated good, not excellent, because ultrawide cutscenes are Vert- cropped per the PCGW tester.
