Overview
Ultrawide is native, with Hor+ gameplay and in-engine cutscenes that fill the screen. Only the pre-rendered FMVs are pillarboxed. WSGF rates the HUD as optimized for ultrawide. Rated good rather than excellent because of the FMVs and because there is no HUD-centering option.

PCGamingWiki: Hor+ gameplay and rendered cutscenes, FMVs pillarboxed (SargeCassidy check, 2022-07-12). WSGF: native Hor+ at ultrawide and multi-monitor, HUD optimized. Menu behavior and HUD edge placement are lower-confidence. No fix needed.
