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 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 includes it from launch. Activation is simple:

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

Once activated, time pauses, and you're ready to shoot!

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 range of Henry), options like character posing, color grading, time of day adjustment, or adding other characters are absent. Hopefully, future updates will expand its capabilities.

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