Additional information

Before 25th Anniversary Update video tab of the settings had a checkbox called "Low video quality" and if it was checked the game was stretched.

Workaround

Use launch options: -nofbo or -stretchaspect

I think you can mimic the old behavior of "Low video quality" mode with the launch parameter -nofbo
There's also the launch parameter -stretchaspect which should work right away without even changing settings inside AMD Adrenalin driver

Thank you, @exegg! I can confirm that it’s working, so I added this as a workaround to my original message.
However, having black bars shouldn’t be the default behavior and I hope that valve will fix it in the future updates.
