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 a gamepad.
  • Xbox Series X|S / PlayStation 5: Simultaneously press L3 and R3 on your gamepad (press both joysticks inwards).

Photo Mode Controls

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

Xbox Series X|S:

  • Camera Rotation: Left Stick
  • Horizontal Camera Movement: 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:

  • Camera Rotation: Left Stick
  • Horizontal Camera Movement: Right Stick
  • Move Camera Up: Left Trigger/LT
  • Move Camera Down: Right Trigger/RT
  • Hide Interface: Square

PC (Keyboard and Mouse):

  • Slow Movement: Caps Lock
  • Hide Interface: X

Screenshots are saved to your Pictures folder on PC, and to your console's capture gallery on Xbox and PlayStation.

Photo Mode Limitations

While convenient, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's photo mode is currently quite basic. You can move the camera around Henry within a certain range, zoom, and adjust the angle, but advanced features like character posing, color grading, or time-of-day adjustments are absent. Hopefully, future updates will expand its functionality.
