Ultra Wide Support for OW2

All I’m asking is that I don’t have to choose between 16:9 or 21:9. Can’t it not use ultra wide in the menus and put the back bars back like in valorant when your in the game

Also are any of you guys against full 21:9 support? CS:GO and League have 21:9 support and no one sees that as a problem on those tittles.

The response is over five years old (and I am trying to get them to reconfirm), but here is what Jeff Kaplan said about the use of ultra-wide screen monitors:

what about where the menu’s have 21:9 support and the game just adds the black bars when you get into a game?

I hope that they will give us a good ultrawide support in PvE, because it hurts absolutely no one there.

Stay losing, wide monitor users.

It just that I spent half of a year saving on a monitor that is not supported in my favorite game. Does that not make since? This game is an artistic masterpiece and adding more and better ways to enjoy what the art team has shown of is almost always a good thing. There is a reason competitive csgo players do not use a ultrawide over 16:9 . Simply because 16:9 gives you a advantage. Why do you think they don’t use massive 32 inch monitors in OWL or other competitive leagues? One because of limited desk space and also having a smaller monitor in which you can see everything on and soak in all the information on is way more important then adding an extra inch in each direction.

Not sure game needs ultra wide support, BUT FOR GODS SAKE BRING FOV 120

“unfair”? The game’s capped at like 70FoV by default.

It’s one of the worst parts about the game, because of how easy it is to lose-track of everything. It’s not even like it’s an unfair advantage; you can give everyone access to the same, higher, FoV.

So frustrating that the game is handicapped like this for no real reason. And so awfully, too.

Unlikely they will do it, many main menu and other scenes must be redone so the 5 players with 21:9 displays see everything properly.

no no no silly. you can play 21:9 in overwatch right now. it just zooms in the fov so far that it makes me really sick. you almost can’t see you hand in the bottom right
