Starfield, the upcoming action RPG from Bethesda, will feature a photo mode that allows players to take pictures during gameplay. These photos can then appear on the game's loading screens, providing players with something visually appealing to look at while waiting.

Starfield is set to launch on September 6th, 2023, exclusively for Xbox Series X/S and PC.
