How to Use Photo Mode in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 boasts stunning visuals, especially in fidelity mode. But sometimes you want to appreciate the scenery beyond the sword fights and quests. 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

Many games add photo mode later, or skip it entirely (we're looking at you, Elden Ring!). Thankfully, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has 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.)

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

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's Photo Mode Limitations

While the photo mode is a welcome addition, its functionality is currently quite basic. You can move the camera around Henry within a certain range, but features like character posing, color adjustments, time of day changes, or adding other characters are absent. Hopefully, Warhorse Studios will add more options in future updates.
