How to Activate Photo Mode in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Not all games come equipped with a photo mode at launch; some receive it through updates, while others, like *Elden Ring*, never get one. Fortunately, *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* includes a photo mode from the get-go. Here's how you can access it:
- PC: Press F1 on your keyboard, or press L3 and R3 simultaneously on your joypad.
- Xbox Series X|S / PlayStation 5: Press L3 and R3 together on your joypad.
If you're wondering what L3 and R3 mean, they refer to clicking in both joysticks at the same time. Once you do this, the game will pause, and you'll enter photo mode.

What Can You Do in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's Photo Mode?
While the photo mode in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* allows you to take pictures from various angles around Henry, it's relatively basic compared to other games. You can't pose or hide characters, change the color tone, adjust the time of day, or insert other characters into your shots. These features might be added in future updates, but for now, the photo mode remains straightforward.
Although it's simple, the inclusion of a photo mode is appreciated, and fans are hopeful that Warhorse Studios will enhance it with additional options in future patches.
