Our community members have reported that a recent update to Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O's anti-cheat disallows the mod that enabled ultrawide and 4:3 support. Those who purchased the game to play it with the mod now have to either stop playing or play in 16:9.
Our quick initial report on ARC Raiders is up on the website. Counting on the community to fill the gaps on 32:9 and 48:9 support, among other things.
New report on our website is on BoobyRogue: Tumor Takedown, an upcoming roguelike game themed around fighting breast cancer. It works great in ultrawide, but has flaws in 16:10 and multi-monitor.
On a podcast from yesterday, our friends GOG talked about their Preservation Program and mentioned absent ultrawide support as one of the signs of game deterioration (as noted by our community member Phantom).
Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow is now released on Steam and Epic, but we already have a Detailed Report on it. It was first submitted in 2011, so it may need revisiting though.
Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition, the non-VR version of Alien: Rogue Incursion, released today. According to its developer, the game supports ultrawide resolutions, though we have not independently verified this yet.
Newly announced Deus Ex Remastered has ultrawide, multi-monitor, and 4K support among its native features.
Borderlands 4 is another game set to have ultrawide support. The latest 2K games have protection from tampering, significantly limiting the games' modding capabilities, so the extent of native ultrawide support might be crucial here.
Anno 117: Pax Romana continues the trend of PC features trailers including native ultrawide support. Ubisoft has a solid track record in that.
Our community member Para shared this video of a 32:9 handheld console. Is it too wide or just right?

Our quick Detailed Report on Gears of War: Reloaded is now available and contains a workaround for 32:9 and wider - https://www.wsgf.org/dr/gears-war-reloaded
Gears of War: Reloaded explicitly advertises its ultrawide support, but it is a downgrade compared to Ultimate Edition. Though the vertical FOV is preserved, the camera placement does not match 16:9. To make matters worse, the new game uses EAC, preventing it from being improved by modders.
One of the next best things a developer can do if they have not added native ultrawide support yet is elevating a trusted community mod which offers that. The developer of the new indie game Heartworm has done just that. Props for valuing the community.
Among the things updated with our new website is our trusty FOV calculator. A user asked if it can be made available for offline use, but from what we can see, saving the page locally would work - https://www.wsgf.org/fovcalc
