Dead Island, the action RPG throwing you into a gruesome zombie outbreak, officially launched in 2011 and gathered a cult following in a very short time.
As you already know, the game introduced its definitive edition in 2016 with visual improvements, technical fixes, and all DLC included.
But one thing missing in the original version and unfortunately also absent in the Dead Island Definitive Edition is the option to toggle on/off HUD by choice.

Well, the HUD is there, but the lack of an option to show or hide it is kinda disheartening, especially for players who love the game’s graphics and want to turn them into wallpaper.
Or for players who want to go hardcore and make the game resemble real life as much as possible.
Well, whatever your reason for removing the HUD in Dead Island, this article has you covered. Here, we’ll provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to remove the HUD in both the Dead Island Definitive Edition and its original version as well.

Unfortunately, neither the base game nor the Definitive Edition of Dead Island provides a built-in option to hide the HUD. However, similar to adding other unavailable features, ingenious gamers have created mods to achieve this!
And there is a mod available for Toggle on and off for this game as well.
Remember, separate mods exist for the original and Definitive Editions, so please follow the appropriate steps based on your version.
