Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue on SteamOS with the Dell Alienware AW3423DWF and AMD 9070 XT using the listed games. Check how the system's 3440x1440 display mode is exposed to games and compare the available resolution list. Done means the native 3440x1440 option appears in affected games without changing the display setup.
