Typically, gamers expect either a new Fallout title or a new The Elder Scrolls title from Bethesda when it is preparing to release a new game. However, Bethesda is veering in a different direction with its upcoming release, and it is presenting gamers with a new space adventure called Starfield. Taking place about 3,000 years in the future, Starfield has players exploring a corner of the Milky Way known as The Settled Systems during a brief period of peace following conflict between the United Colonies and Freestar Collective.

Several games in recent years have benefited greatly from the inclusion of a photo mode, and it would be a shame if players did not have a feature-filled photo mode to create some beautiful space art.
