    Will Xbox Series X|S be compatible with 21:9 (ultrawide) aspect ratio?


    I ask this question as I was seriously considering getting an Xbox Series S for my ultrawide monitor in my studio, however, after reading up on it I discovered that it only displays in 16:9 aspect ratio. When displayed on an ultrawide monitor (21:9), it shows 2 black bars either side or stretches the image which is not ideal.

    Apparently, both consoles have the horse power to display on an ultrawide monitor, so I'm hoping this could be fixed with a firmware update. The benefits of this are obviously having an extended field of view and better gaming experience, particularly when playing driving games such as Forza Horizon 5. It would also give Microsoft a "one up" on PlayStation who also don't currently display on ultrawide monitors. I will hold out on buying a new console until this feature is available.

    :)

    Xbox series X ultrawide 32:9

    Yes, but you will have black bars on either side as the Xbox Series X|S only supports the 16:9 aspect ratio and not the super ultrawide 32:9 aspect ratio of the G9. The Xbox does detect it as 4K UHD + HDR so still looks super nice.

    Xbox one S won't output 1440p on 3440x1440p acer predator X34 monitor

    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.

    Any unfair advantage that an Ultrawide monitor could offer, could EASILY be countered by giving the game the ability to detect the Console is outputting 21:9 and artificially capping the FOV players can select in game. Otherwise it would be way too OP.

    With this thing hitting the market (ALIENWARE 34 CURVED QD-OLED GAMING MONITOR - AW3423DW).

    Microsoft better get 3440 x 1400 resolution support for the Series X.
