How to Turn On and Off the HUD in CS2

Disabling the HUD (heads-up display) in Counter-Strike 2 can be useful for taking beautiful screenshots or for increasing your field of view. Here is a quick guide on how to turn off the HUD in CS:GO.

Unfortunately, it is only possible to disable the HUD in demos, GOTV to watch games in progress, private matches, or on community servers, as it requires SV_Cheats to be enabled.

Follow the Steps Below
