Overview
World of Warships supports 21:9 natively with a wider Hor+ view, per PCGamingWiki and a 21:9 video review. At 32:9 the in-game setting has reportedly not offered wider than 21:9, and players have edited the aspect-ratio value in the preferences file; the HUD sits at the screen edges. It is an online game, so avoid injecting third-party tools.

Patch history & verification
Current Steam build (number not confirmed)Oct 17, 2026
PCGW: ultrawide true (video ref), UI does not scale with resolution, documents a preferences.xml aspect-ratio edit incl. 21:9 value. Official forum thread (old) reports 32:9 needing a manual preferences edit. 32:9 behavior and HUD placement are lower confidence; no FWS module.
