How difficult would it be for a video game to allow you to use multiple monitor layouts in their native resolutions? (kbin.social)

I'm playing Armored Core 6 and thinking how I want a 100 button Steel Battalion controller with all 3 of my monitors to have different huds.

Center or left two screens for my main visor. Right e-reader for text, minimap, ammo, mech metrics, etc.

Rendering more screens is more demand on the graphics card.

Also, not everyone has multiple screens or their screens laid out in a similar arrangement and/or the same resolutions.

Beyond these though, there shouldn't be that much limitation to the idea.

I currently play Baldurs Gate 3 couch co-op split between two screens. There doesn't seem to be a way to do it natively, since it recognizes each monitor individually, but doesn't see their connections to each other. I have to do a borderless window and then drag one side of it to the other monitor.

Anyway, I wish there were more built-in options to spread a game across multiple screens. Years ago I used to play Rocket League across three monitors so I could see more of the field while playing.
