Hogwarts Legacy has received an overwhelming amount of support and love from players since its launch last year. In response, a free update has been released today, introducing a highly anticipated feature: Photo Mode. This update also includes new cosmetics and other exciting additions to enhance the game experience.
Capture the magic of Hogwarts with photo mode
The new Photo Mode in Hogwarts Legacy allows players to harness their inner photographer, composing and capturing screenshots of their favorite characters, moments, and locations throughout the game. Whether exploring the iconic halls of Hogwarts or the scenic Scottish Highlands, players can now use a variety of camera tools to get the perfect shot and remember their adventures in the wizarding world.
To access Photo Mode, players need to pause the game and tap the Square button. When ready to capture a screenshot, they can hide the Photo Mode UI with the Square button and press the Create button on the DualSense wireless controller or the Share button on the DualShock 4 controller.
