Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: Mastering Photo Mode

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 boasts stunning visuals, especially in fidelity mode. But sometimes, you just want to pause the action and capture the breathtaking scenery. Luckily, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 includes a built-in photo mode at launch. Here's how to use it:

Activating Photo Mode in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Unlike some games that add photo mode later (or not at all!), Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 offers this feature from the start. Activation is simple:

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

Once activated, time will pause, and you'll be in photo mode!

Limitations of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's Photo Mode

While functional, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's photo mode is currently quite basic. You can capture images from various positions around Henry (within a certain range), but advanced features like character posing, color adjustments, time-of-day changes, or adding other characters are absent. Hopefully, Warhorse Studios will expand these options in future updates.
