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? This guide details how to utilize the in-game photo mode.

Activating Photo Mode:

Unlike some games that lack photo mode at launch, or never receive one, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 includes it! 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 (pushing both joysticks inward).

Photo Mode Controls:

Once in photo mode, you can freely manipulate the camera around the main character, Henry. You can zoom, ascend, and descend for optimal angles. Here's a breakdown of the controls:

Xbox Series X|S:

  • Camera Rotation: Left Stick
  • Horizontal Camera Movement: Right Stick
  • Camera Up: Left Trigger (LT)
  • Camera Down: Right Trigger (RT)
  • Hide Interface: X button
  • Exit Photo Mode: B button
  • Take Picture: Press the Xbox button, then press Y.

PlayStation 5:

  • Camera Rotation: Left Stick
  • Horizontal Camera Movement: Right Stick
  • Camera Up: Left Trigger (LT)
  • Camera Down: Right Trigger (RT)
  • Hide Interface: Square button
  • Exit Photo Mode: Circle button
  • Take Picture: Press the Share button and select "Take Screenshot" (or hold down Share).

PC (Keyboard and Mouse):

  • Slow Camera Movement: Caps Lock
  • Hide Interface: X key

Screenshots on PC are saved to your Pictures folder, while console screenshots are saved to the respective console's capture gallery.

Photo Mode Limitations:

Currently, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's photo mode is relatively basic. While you can position the camera freely (within a certain range of Henry), features such as character posing, color grading, time-of-day adjustments, or character placement are absent. Hopefully, Warhorse Studios will expand its functionality in future updates.
