Physical Editions Of Starfield May Not Include A Disc

Physical editions of Starfield will not include a disc, according to a now-deleted message from the Bethesda Support Twitter account.

Yesterday, a user asked the account if the Physical standard edition of the game on Xbox Series X would include a disc. The account responded, “All physical editions include a code for the chosen platform. There are no physical discs.” This tweet has since been deleted, and Bethesda has yet to comment on it, but one of our editors captured a screenshot of the message, posted below.

However, according to Eurogamer, fans have uncovered a contradictory message from the Bethesda Spanish account posted on June 13, stating the Standard Edition includes a disc while the $300 Constellation Edition only has a game code engraved on one of the collector’s items. A screenshot of this message is posted below, along with a rough translation.

Hello partners! Depends on the edition. For example, the standard one has a disc, while the Constellation Edition has a code engraved on a collector's item, which you can see in the images.

We’ve contacted Bethesda for clarification and will update this story if we hear back.
