Overview
Prison Architect has genuinely native ultrawide support: it uses a free-scrolling top-down camera so wider aspect ratios simply reveal more of the prison (hor+) with no letterboxing, correct FOV, and a HUD that anchors to the screen edges rather than stretching. Both 21:9 and 32:9 work well since there are no fixed-camera cutscenes to worry about - a Paradox forum thread and a WSGF silver ultrawidescreen award both back this up, and no third-party fix is needed.
