Overview

GTA V (Legacy) natively renders 21:9 correctly in Story Mode with no stretching, but default FOV is narrow and cutscenes stay pillarboxed at 16:9 unless you install the community FOV & Ultrawide script. At true 32:9 (5120x1440) there's a known engine ceiling around 5040 pixels wide before UI elements misbehave. Never use the FOV/ultrawide patcher in GTA Online — it requires disabling BattlEye, risking a ban.
