Does iPadOS 26 support 16x9 scaling for games displayed on an external monitor?

One of the most significant issues I’m facing with iPadOS right now is that when I move a game window to my external monitor, it launches the game in a 4x3 window that prevents me from going full screen. Has anyone tested whether iPadOS 26 addresses this issue?

Depends on the iPad - the M series properly support external displays and resolutions. I don't know if iPadOS26 will enable this on other iPads.

Yes, but games specifically could not go full screen on external monitors. I am hoping that’s fixed with iPadOS 26.

I believe it would also need the games to have it enabled within them. iPad gaming is probably only developed for the 4x3 aspect ratio of the iPad display. It would probably be up to the developers to enable external monitor resolutions.
