Windowed

By default, window size is static; only the resolutions from the currently selected display are offered in the game settings, and the game window cannot be freely resized.
A custom window size / resolution can be manually set, by either:

(Note: replace <width> and <height> with your desired resolution.)

Ultra-widescreen

For resolutions wider than 16:9 (e.g. 21:9), Hades II uses Hor+ scaling for gameplay / main rendering, with the HUD expanded horizontally as well.
Menus and static assets (e.g. dialogues, FMV) are pillarboxed in the center of the screen, with dedicated artwork rather than plain black bars.
There is an option to disable the artwork, but as of V0.90373 this setting does nothing.

Multi-monitor

Multi-monitor setups behave identically to ultra-widescreen.
By default, Hades II only works on multi-monitor setups emulating a single display (such as Eyefinity / Surround), as it is not possible to freely resize the game window. See Windowed for details and a bypass solution.
There are display issues with the HUD and menus, with some elements not properly resizing or being repositioned and being locked at 32:9-like sizes, as if internally the game was only expected to be played up to 32:9.

16:10 (Steam Deck)

For resolutions taller than 16:9 (e.g. 16:10), Hades II uses Vert+ scaling for gameplay / main rendering, with the HUD expanded vertically as well.
Menus and static assets (e.g. dialogues, FMV) are letterboxed in the center of the screen.
