How to change the aspect ratio on xbox one x

Hi,

Unfortunately, Xbox One S and X do not support 'Ultra Wide' display type resolutions with 21:9 aspect ratios. Unless this changes with a system update, your only option is Full HD 1920x1080 in 16:9 aspect ratio.

Thank you so much. The power cycle worked. I really appreciate the help

Hi,Amai! I'm Luis, a fellow Xbox Gamer . Thanks for reaching us out here.

Have you tried performing a full power cycle?

Turn off your console by holding the Xbox button  on the front of the console for approximately 10 seconds. The console will turn off.

Once the lights on the front of the console, unplug the power cable from the rear of the console.

Wait at least 2 minutes

Turn your console back on by pressing the Xbox button  on the console or the Xbox button  on your controller.

If it is still not changing try resetting your display settings:

If there's a disc in the console, eject it.

On the console, press and hold the Power button on the front of the console for 10 seconds to turn off the console.

Press and hold the Power button and the Eject button until you hear a beep to turn on the console. You’ll hear one beep right away and a second beep 10 seconds later. The power light will flash on before the second beep. Don’t let go until you hear the second beep or see the console start up in low resolution mode (the Xbox startup screen will appear slightly pixelated).

Note If you have an Xbox Series S or Xbox One S All-Digital Edition, press and hold the Xbox button  and the Pair button  instead, as your console doesn’t have an Eject button.

In either case, this will start up your console in low resolution mode (640 × 480).

To change this setting, press the Xbox button  on your controller to open the guide. Go to Profile & system > Settings > General > TV & display options, and then select the resolution that you want from the options under Display.

I have the same issue with aspect ratio. Some DVDs play with a 16:9 aspect ratio, but for some reason others play with a 4:3 ratio. The DVDs which play with a 4:3 ratio on the Xbox One play with a 16:9 ratio on the Xbox 360. The issue is not with the TV
and there are no options on the Xbox one to change the ratio manually. To me this looks like a like a bug or a missing feature. If anyone knows of a way around this I would love to know how.

21:9 aspect ratio

Hi,

There is your issue. Xbox One only supports 1440P on 16:9 aspect ratios (2560x1440).

Xbox supports your vertical resolution (1440), but not your display's horizontal resolution of 3440.

I have no idea if MS will support 21:9 aspect ratio's on Xbox One in the future, although I believe Series X will.
