The version number watermark in Baldur’s Gate 3 is the string of numbers permanently located in the top right of your screen during cutscenes – or underneath the map in regular gameplay.

This watermark was also visible during early access, but it has unfortunately persisted into the full release of the game, leaving many players wondering whether it can be turned off at all.

Unfortunately, there is currently no way to permanently hide or remove the version number in Baldur’s Gate 3, so you will have to put up with it for now.

However, disabling the game’s HUD also removes the watermark, so this is a great option if you’re looking to take some fancy screenshots. All you need to do to toggle the HUD off in-game is press F10, which disables any UI elements currently present on the screen.

This is unfortunately not an ideal or permanent solution though, as you will need UI elements present to play the game in any meaningful fashion – especially within the game’s wonderful cutscenes as the dialogue choices are also disabled.

So, that’s everything we currently know about removing the version number in Baldur’s Gate 3, but we will let you know if anything changes and a toggle is eventually added.
