How to participate in The Witcher 3 Screenshot Contest

The Witcher 3's new next-gen update has finally added a photo mode to the game. This mode brings many options for you to tweak the camera and capture the perfect shot. The Witcher 3 has some fantastic environments and iconic moments, so players are excited to share their screenshots on social media.

The photo mode allows you to freely move the camera around and adjust the depth of field, aperture, and focal distance. The color, temperature, exposure, and saturation can also be adjusted.

CD Projekt Red is currently hosting a screenshot contest that all players can participate in. The new photo mode should help them take better screenshots for the competition.
