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 pause the action and capture that beauty. Here's how to use photo mode.

Activating Photo Mode in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Many games add photo mode later, or skip it altogether (we're looking at you, Elden Ring!). Thankfully, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 includes photo mode at launch. Here's how to activate it:

• PC: Press F1 on your keyboard, or press both L3 and R3 on your joypad simultaneously.
• Xbox Series X|S / PlayStation 5: Press both L3 and R3 on your joypad simultaneously. (L3 and R3 refer to pressing both joystick sticks inwards.) Photo mode will activate, pausing the game.

Limitations of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's Photo Mode

While functional, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's photo mode is currently quite basic. You can move the camera freely around Henry within a certain radius, but features like character posing, color grading, time of day adjustment, or adding other characters are absent. Hopefully, these features will be added in future updates.
