Capture the Beauty of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 with Photo Mode

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 boasts stunning visuals, especially in fidelity mode. Want to preserve that beauty beyond gameplay? The game features a built-in photo mode; here's how to access and utilize it.

Activating Photo Mode in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Unlike some games that receive photo mode updates later or lack it entirely (we're looking at you, Elden Ring!), Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 includes photo mode at launch. Activation is simple:

• PC: Press F1 on your keyboard, or press both L3 and R3 simultaneously on a joypad.
• Xbox Series X|S / PlayStation 5: Press both L3 and R3 simultaneously on your joypad (pressing both thumbsticks inward).

Upon activation, time freezes, and you'll enter photo mode.

Using Photo Mode in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Photo mode offers camera control around the main character, Henry. You can adjust the camera angle by moving up, down, and zooming. Here's a breakdown of the controls:

Limitations of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's Photo Mode

Currently, the photo mode's features are somewhat limited. While you can freely position the camera within a certain radius of Henry, options like character posing, color grading, time manipulation, or character placement are absent. Hopefully, Warhorse Studios will expand these features in future updates.

Despite its current limitations, the inclusion of photo mode is a welcome addition, allowing players to capture the game's beautiful scenery.
