UWQHD 21:9 Support on Xbox series S / X

Dear Microsoft,

There have been thread's about this in the past. I'm hoping that with enough interest from the community, there could be opened a serious discussion within the higher ups whether it's feasible or not.

21:9 has become increasingly more accessible with time and there is no denying that it's become more widely accepted into the productivity space. It's be a shame to not be able to utilize it with our gaming systems as well.

I am sure that at wide array of players will want to be able to play games like Forza Horizon on an ultrawide monitor. The added level of immersion truly boosts the experience to another level.

The raised concern of unjustified advantage in competitive games, due to increased visual awareness vs players without, has been brought up. It seems like a fairly easy software fix. I.e only include the support for singleplayer games, alternatively add FoV sliders at the cost of visual fidelity, or implement some sort of lock system where it is disabled in competitive games.

I hope for some feedback from the Microsoft team as we'd love to know if this is something we can expect some time in the future.

As for World of Warcraft on consoles. We dream and hope this will become a reality. Played on a regular monitor, ultrawide or TV would bring new life into the game. Perfect for casual play, and maybe it will actually improve the state of the raid design to make it less hardcore only focused.

I'd love the input from active players and members of the MS fam as well. What do you think? Is it time we got more flexibility in the way we play and what resolution it scales to? Or are you fine the way it is now and don't mind. Let us know

Be well. Stay safe. -Mem

Not being a programmer I can understand it would take some effort to have support for 21:9. That being said I just wish MS would just come out with a statement that Series X will or will not support 21:9 so people can move on to other monitor(s) purchases.

21:9 3440x1440 is less pixels than 16:9 3840 x 2160 which is "supported" by Xbox One S.

Hi EiShaiViIbaiNomerata,

I agree with Xbox Ambassador Obsessive Power in that we should never say never, however going 21:9 introduces extra pixels. Whilst the One X could cope, the One S would likely struggle.

I got a chance to experience 21:9 3440x1440 gaming on a PC and was hooked, so would love to see it on consoles, but more pixels means more strain on the current consoles. Heres hoping that the Series X has support for 21:9 3440x1440 @ 120hz which I believe
could easily handle it.
