Does this have a screen area/size setting on Xbox?
I've thought about buying this on my Series X, since my PC struggles to run this game.

My issue is though, that i've got an old af TV... meaning some UI stuff is usually outside of the screen in most games that doesn't let you change the screen size or whatever you wanna call it.

So... just like the title, does the Xbox version have a screen area/size setting?

This feels like an XBox and/or TV issue, and has nothing to do with this (or any) game...

Either:
* The XBox Video Resolution is NOT set to match your TVs native resolution, or
* The TVs Aspect Ratio (also called Picture Size) is NOT set to match your XBox Video

See if this video helps:

It is indeed 99% a TV issue like i said, and changing the screen size like shown in that useless video, literally does nothing. Since it's more like a calibration thing or whatever.
My TV is from 2007, so it has some really strange video resolutions.

The screen area setting that most games has, does actually help in my case.
That's exactly why i'm asking if this game has it or not, but i guess nobody knows.

Disclaimer: I play on PC, not XBox, however...

FWIW, this game does have Graphics Settings for:
* UI Scaling
* Resolution Scaling

With those two, you should be able to accommodate your "strange video resolutions".

I would dig into the user/tech manual for your TV to double-check it's capabilities.
IIRC, I have a late 90s TV that, even then, had settings for changing the aspect ratio.

It's a long shot, but maybe your TV has a firmware or system software update to apply...
Good Luck.
