Photo Mode has allowed us all to soak in the rich detail of the game worlds we’re sometimes too busy saving to appreciate. It’s also turned us from players to photographers, pouring over the perfect composition and fine-tuning our filters for the most eye-catching shot.
In 2018, we asked you to show off your best snaps in our Share of the Week series by sharing on Twitter and Instagram using #PS4share and #PSBlog. Here are just some of our personal favorites. Or, as we like to call them, our new desktop wallpapers.
Shadow of the Colossus
We started out our Share of the Week series alongside the release of the hauntingly beautiful Shadow of the Colossus. @JerseyAnthony caught our eye with this triumphant final blow to a Colossus.
Horizon Zero Dawn
We then took a look back at some highlights from 2017 releases like Horizon Zero Dawn. Photo Mode allowed players to get up close and personal like in this portrait of Aloy from @horizonzerodawnworld.
