Horizon Forbidden West is the most visually beautiful game you’re likely to play this year. Its open world is incredibly detailed, and the various components of the machines have been meticulously designed so that you can literally point them out on your screen like Leo in that meme in awe. All of the character models also look almost photorealistic, so you’ll probably want to take lots of photos to remember your epic adventure. Thankfully, Horizon Forbidden West Photo Mode is quite extensive and can help take a great screenshot to the next level with its plethora of options. So let’s dive into them.
Using photo mode in Horizon Forbidden West
To use Photo Mode, press the Options button on your controller to access the pause menu and select ‘Photo Mode’.

This will give you the ability to move the camera around to find the perfect angle. You can also change the time of day, the pose of Aloy and other characters, adjust saturation, brightness, and contrast levels, and apply filters.
All of these options can be accessed by pressing L1 and R1. We’ve listed all the options available to you in Photo mode below, so you know what you can do to edit and take the perfect photo.
When you’re ready to take a screenshot, press X to hide the UI and then press the Share button on your PlayStation 4/5 controller. Take a screenshot like you would any other game, and once you’ve saved it, you can exit photo mode and continue playing.
