Hello PC Builders!
Today, we’re opening the case on PC Building Simulator 2 v1.8. Photo Mode has arrived! Use it to showcase your creations in dynamic and exciting ways. Not only that, but we’ve got parts returning from the first PC Building Simulator, as well as some more bug fixes and new quality of life improvements. Let’s get down to it!
New Feature: Photo Mode
You can find the Photo App in the tablet and it will be available in both Career and Free build modes. Not only can you take photos, but you’ll be able to make GIFs to really make your build’s imagery pop. Don’t forget to add stickers in the Photo App for some post-production flare.
Part of the fun in assembling impressive PC builds is sharing them, so show out with Photo Mode and give us your most perfect PC presentations!
