How to Use Photo Mode in Death Stranding 2: On the Beach

How to Use Photo Mode in Death Stranding 2 On the Beach

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is among the most devastatingly beautiful games of all time. Considering the nature of the game, the world’s drastic landscape change provides an incredibly eerie yet stunning new take on how we view nature. Fortunately, you can take photos of everything Sam sees or journeys through using the in-game photo mode. Sure, you can just use the screenshot button on your PS5 controller or keyboard, but what if you want Sam to pose, or what if you want to change the filter? This is how to use photo mode in Death Stranding 2: On the Beach.

Using Photo Mode in Death Stranding 2: On the Beach

To use photo mode in Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, you need to press the left side of the controller’s touchpad. The game doesn’t outright tell you this for some reason, though it is featured within the Corpus under ‘Photo Mode.’ Alongside being able to take screenshots of whatever is going on in front or around Sam, you can also pose him and Dollman to better fit the vibe of whatever image you were going for.

Personally, I use this feature a lot when Sam is battling BTs, as the various angles I can reach help elevate the images. The mode also provides other customization options, including a vignette and it’s intensity and different frames. With these photos, you can keep them as cool memories of things you’ve done, or you can go into a private room located within a bunker and make the photo the image displayed on your walls.
