Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise is a singleplayer third-person open world and TPS game in the Deadly Premonition series.
Originally released as a Nintendo Switch exclusive on July 10, 2020, it was later revealed through Thunderful Group's 2020 annual report that the game would be coming to Steam in 2021.[2] After an extended period of silence, the game was shadowdropped on June 11, 2022.
The game is missing basic resolution settings, display mode settings, and other PC-specific options. The game does not support keyboard and mouse and uses the Nintendo Switch controller layout remapped onto a Xbox controller, which results in unusual controller bindings, such as B being confirm, while A is cancel.

This can be done with at least two methods:
This also works to get rid of the pillarboxes for 21:9; game is Hor+ and UI mostly scales well. However, some UI elements that were not meant to be seen seem visible. |
