How to Use Photo Mode in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

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 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 it from the start. Here's how to activate it:

• 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 joystick sticks inward.)

Activating photo mode pauses the game, allowing you to take your perfect shot.

Limitations of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's Photo Mode

While the photo mode is a welcome addition, it's currently quite basic. You can adjust camera angles and zoom, but features like character posing, color grading, or time-of-day adjustments are absent. Hopefully, Warhorse Studios will expand its functionality in future updates.
