Overview
Returnal was built for ultrawide from the ground up on PC: 32:9 (and 21:9) get an expanded, correctly scaled field of view, the HUD can be kept centered via settings, and in-engine cutscenes fill the full width. The only pillarboxing left is on pre-rendered cinematics, which stay locked to standard widescreen, with a choice of black bars, blurred extensions, or darkened blur to fill those gaps. At true 32:9 (5120x1440) it's essentially flawless out of the box.
