Hogwarts Legacy is a massive hit on PC, as well as consoles. The PC version is decent enough, but there are some technical issues and limited implementation of ultrawide resolutions. If you want to fix the Hogwarts Legacy ultrawide resolution to remove black bars from cutscenes, here’s how you can do that.
