Forza Horizon 4 is one of the prettiest games around on the Xbox One X.  Racing games are classic go-tos for showing off the power of your console. The Forza series steps up the visual quality up a couple notches above the already stiff competition.  If you’re playing on the XB1X it’s about as good as any game can look on a home console. Games like Forza Horizon 4 often contain a Photo Mode, so people who like taking super high quality pictures of their cars have a way to do just that. Here’s how to use Photo Mode in Forza Horizon 4.

You can press up on the d-pad to enter Photo Mode to stop time. This will let you take a picture of whatever you were doing at the time. This includes racing, or just cruising around. You can get really in-depth with your shot. You can add filters, adjust the shutter speed, the color, and more. It pretty much feels like you’re using a real camera. You have a ton of options in Photo Mode for Forza Horizon 4. Play around with everything and see what looks best, and then take the shot.

Additionally, you can also take scenic shots at your owned property as well. To do that, first, you must progress far enough in the game to unlock your first house, which is given to you when you complete enough spring events to qualify for the autumn races. The map marker for your first house will be revealed once you’ve gotten to that point.

Then, arrive at your new house, and you’ll have a new menu that you can access while you’re there, including a garage where you can now store your cars. In the Garage menu, press X to enter Forzavista mode, which lets you look around, and set up the perfect shot. You can explode the car doors (AKA open them all up), turn on/off the lights etc. When you have an idea of what you want your shot to look like, press Y to enter Photo Mode.

As you progress, you’ll be able to use CP to buy more houses, and thus, locales, for you to take Photo Mode pictures in, to give you some more varieties in backgrounds.
