How to Use Photo Mode in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

Author : Mila Mar 17,2025

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 boasts stunning visuals, especially in fidelity mode. But sometimes you just want to pause the action and capture the beauty. Here's how to use its built-in photo mode.

Activating Photo Mode in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Unlike some games that add photo mode later (or not at all!), Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 includes it from launch. Here's how to access it:

PC: Press F1 on your keyboard, or press both L3 and R3 simultaneously on a gamepad. Xbox Series X|S / PlayStation 5: Press both L3 and R3 simultaneously on your gamepad (this means pushing both joystick sticks inward).

Photo mode will activate, pausing the game.

Limitations of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's Photo Mode

While the photo mode is a welcome addition, its functionality is currently quite basic. You can move the camera around Henry within a certain range, but features like character posing, color grading, time of day adjustments, or adding other characters are absent. Hopefully, these features will be added in future updates.
