Assassin’s Creed Mirage: How to use Photo Mode

Ubisoft Bordeaux has beautifully crafted the city of Baghdad in Assassin’s Creed Mirage where certain locations on the map just pop up, showcasing some of the most picturesque backgrounds and settings. Hence, it’s not all that surprising why there are many in the community who are looking to get high-resolution snaps of these locales as well as moments in the game.

Fortunately, Mirage comes with a Photo Mode, which will allow you to pause the game and bring out the in-game camera, allowing you to take snaps of what's going around Basim or just take a photo of Basim himself if he is doing something cool.

However, Mirage does not exactly go over the details of how the Photo Mode works, which is why there has been a fair bit of confusion among players as to how they can go about using it in the game.

Today’s Assassin’s Creed Mirage guide will go over how you can make the most of the Photo Mode when exploring the secrets of Baghdad.
