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 that beauty? This guide explains how to use the game's built-in photo mode.
Activating Photo Mode in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Unlike some games that lack photo mode at launch, or never receive one (looking at you, Elden Ring!), Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 includes photo mode from day one. Here's how to access it:
- PC: Press F1 on your keyboard, or press both L3 and R3 on a joypad simultaneously.
- Xbox Series X|S / PlayStation 5: Press both L3 and R3 on your joypad simultaneously. (L3 and R3 refer to pressing both thumbsticks inward.)

Limitations of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's Photo Mode
Currently, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's photo mode is relatively basic. While you can freely position the camera, features like character posing, color grading, time-of-day adjustments, or character placement are absent. Hopefully, Warhorse Studios will add these enhancements in future updates.
