Unfortunately, Larian Studios decided to include the version number as part of the UI with no option to remove it. There is one “solution” that is floating around social media, but it isn’t a solution due to what else it causes when used. Here is what you need to know about removing the version number in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Unfortunately, there is no option to turn off the version number in Baldur’s Gate 3. Instead, you must hide all UI elements by pressing the F10 key. This isn’t a solution because when you press F10, you will hide all UI elements, including your spells, party member portraits, mini-map, and items, not just the version number. However, you can still select and highlight things as usual, but please note that the names of NPCs or items won’t appear unless you press F10 again.

In the Screenshots section, you can configure the screenshot shortcut key, notification pop-up, notification sound, whether you want the screenshots to be uncompressed, and the location to which the screenshots will be saved on your computer.
