Capture the Beauty of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 with Photo Mode

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 boasts stunning visuals, especially in fidelity mode. Want to immortalize those breathtaking landscapes and character moments? This guide explains how to utilize the game's built-in photo mode.

Activating Photo Mode

Unlike some games that lack photo mode at launch or receive it via patches later, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 includes this feature from day one. 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 (push both joysticks inwards).

Photo Mode Controls

Once in photo mode, time pauses, allowing you to freely adjust the camera angle and zoom. Here's a breakdown of the controls:

Photo Mode Limitations

Hopefully, future updates will expand these options.

Despite its current simplicity, the photo mode in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 provides a valuable tool for capturing the game's stunning visuals.
