How to use Photomode on all systems

To use Photomode in Cyberpunk 2077, you need to hit a specific key depending on the platform you are playing the game on. For PC, it is "N" by default, and for both consoles, you can access photomode by pressing down both analog sticks simultaneously.

That said, if you want to take a screen while using photomode on consoles, hit both the Xbox button and Y on Playstation to do so; however, if you are using a new Xbox series controller, you will have to hit the share button instead. Now to take a screen on PC, it is pretty straightforward as all you need to do is hit "spacebar"; you can also hit "tab" to hide the HUD.

Navigating Photomode's menus on all three systems is also as simple, and if you run into any trouble, simply look at the bottom right and sides of your screen, and the controls/keybindings will be listed for you.
