Games that make use of two or more monitors? (lemm.ee)

Many gamers have setups with two or monitors. Oftentimes these differ in size, resolution, even aspect ratio. They can be very helpful in productivity tasks, but mid-gameplay they rarely serve as more than displays for external music or chat.

Are there games that utilize this extra space in a unique way and are played better or exclusively with two or more monitors? Preferably something more than just extra FOV

Simulators, like x-plane or flightsim, and I think some driving sims can use lots of monitors. Like 4 monitors for the cockpit windows and another two for control panels etc. though you need a hench pc and graphics set up to do this at a decent frame rate

I don't think any driving sim can use a smaller monitor as a dash/timer natively. Most people do this through third party software like SimHub
