Hereā€™s How to Remove the Version Number in Baldurā€™s Gate 3 (BG3)

The version number was present during BG3ā€™s Steam Early Access days, to inform players which version of the game they were playing. However, Larian Studios have yet to remove this from the final release. Some games feature a setting whereby you can choose to display the version number but, in its current state, this number is ever present.

You can pore over the options menu but you wonā€™t find any settings to disable it. However, what you can do is disable the HUD which will hide everything, the version number included. Hit F10 and the interface will disappear, including the mini-map and version number.

Thatā€™s not a very satisfactory solution, and it also wonā€™t work if youā€™re playing using a controller. Switching to a controller just re-enables the mini-map. But itā€™s the best ā€˜fixā€™ that exists right now. The alternative is to just ignore it. Yes, itā€™s a tad intrusive but itā€™s not a game breaker.

So what you need to know is that you canā€™t remove just the version number in Baldur’s Gate 3. But you can hide the whole interface, which will also hide the version number. And if you’re looking for more help with BG3, check out our guides here.
