Overview

Watch_Dogs 2 natively renders gameplay at 21:9 and 32:9 with proper hor+ scaling and a working FOV slider, but real-time cutscenes are pillarboxed to 16:9 with black bars out of the box. RoseTheFlower's community fix removes the black bars from real-time cutscenes; pre-rendered cutscenes stay 16:9 regardless of any fix.

Patch history & verification

Current Steam buildSep 23, 2026
Verified via PCGamingWiki infobox (widescreen/ultrawidescreen=true, 70-110 FOV) and confirmed the RoseTheFlower GitHub fix is current and targets real-time cutscene black bars specifically; could not find a distinct numbered patch/build string on the Steam store page, so patch label is conservative.
