21:9 and above support

Will Squadrons offer native support for the 21:9 (and above) aspect ratio, or will the game have a zoomed perspective that is seen in many current titles at the moment? My concern is that if the g...

@Sati_Sati If the solution is as is with Fallen Order (to place black borders on cutscenes) I could handle that. It is something us ultrawide users learn to deal with. I have a fear that it won't be supported during gameplay though. A great number of competitive FPS titles don't fully support it, instead opting to zoom in the screen for an emulated effect. This is very noticeable and a terrible experience.

Fortunately this wasn't the case with Fallen Order. I am hopeful that 21:9 and 32:9 will be fully supported, but I guess this is where we play the wait and see game.

    Considering this is a multiplayer competitive game, I'm pretty sure the devs don't want to give a competitive advantage to people playing with wider monitors.  If I were to *guess*, should they be supported, the wider monitors would just show you more of the cockpit walls, not give you an advantage over others with 16:9 by allowing you to see more enemies to the side.  But it's just a guess.

      @Merglet sad to burst your bubble but faster refresh rates offer more information than wider screen, going 16:9 to 21:9 increases your fov (that can be just properly coded into game) by roughly 35%, while having 120hz display just doubles information you see. How is one still being regarded as "cheating" while other is fine and if you cant afford higher end display "just deal with it"?

        Thanks, but to briefly defend myself, in no way shape or form did I think it would be "cheating".  No way!  The simple fact of the matter is I had NO idea about the subject of support or whether or not it would give a competitive advantage, and shared a few thoughts about it.  That's all 🙂  If anyone interpreted that as me IMPLYING such a thing, I apologize, I should have written my answer with more clarity.
