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, making it easy to capture breathtaking shots.

Activating Photo Mode

Unlike some games that lack photo mode at launch, or never receive one, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 includes this feature. Here's how to access it:

  • PC: Press F1 on your keyboard, or simultaneously press L3 and R3 on your gamepad.
  • Xbox Series X|S / PlayStation 5: Simultaneously press L3 and R3 on your gamepad (pushing both joysticks inwards).

Photo Mode Controls

Once in photo mode, time freezes, allowing you to freely position the camera. Here's a breakdown of the controls:

Xbox Series X|S:

  • Rotate camera: Left Stick
  • Move camera horizontally: Right Stick
  • Move camera up: Left Trigger/LT
  • Move camera down: Right Trigger/RT
  • Hide Interface: X
  • Exit photo mode: B
  • Take picture: Press the Xbox button, then Y.

PlayStation 5:

  • Rotate camera: Left Stick
  • Move camera horizontally: Right Stick
  • Move camera up: Left Trigger/LT

PC (Keyboard and Mouse):

  • Move camera: Use your mouse.
  • Slow move: Caps Lock
  • Hide interface: X

Screenshots are saved to your Pictures folder on PC or your console's capture gallery.

Photo Mode Limitations

While the photo mode is a welcome addition, its functionality is currently limited. You can move the camera around the character, zoom, and adjust the angle, but features such as character posing, color grading, or time-of-day adjustments are absent. Hopefully, future updates will expand its capabilities.
