Hellblade 2: Players quickly found a way to turn off the ultrawide picture format

Hellblade 2 is a visually appealing game, but some players may be bothered by the blurry and ultrawide image effects. On PC, the issue can be resolved by accessing the game's configuration files.

If it is the case that you're playing the PC version of Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, you can easily turn off ultrawide forcing, as well as a bunch of other image distortion effects and here is how.

Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, developed by Ninja Theory, is a graphically very attractive and demanding game, but some players may be disappointed by the fact that it does not allow turning off certain effects that make the image blurry, as well as forcing the ultrawide image format.

[SystemSettings] r.NT.EnableConstrainAspectRatio=0

r.NT.AllowAspectRatioHorizontalExtension=0

This will allow you to play in 16:9 aspect ratio, without black borders at the top and bottom of the screen. Just keep in mind that this can negatively affect the performance of the game itself, and Hellblade 2 isn't really designed to be played on such a display either. You can, if you really want to, but know that it's not designed for that.
