Overview

X4 renders the 3D view natively at 21:9 and 32:9, has an FOV option, and keeps the cockpit HUD at 16:9 in the centre. At 32:9, full-screen menus (map, build, info) stretch across the whole width, with oversized icons and a lot of empty space.

Patch history & verification

Current public releaseSep 23, 2026
Confirmed appid 392160. PCGamingWiki: ultrawide=true, FOV=true. Steam threads report stretched, oversized menus at 32:9. No FWS module. A Nexus HUD mod exists but could not be verified, so no fix is recommended.
