Starfield won't be available on disc - Bethesda says physical editions will only include the game's activation code

A Twitter user has asked Bethesda's support team if the physical edition of Starfield will include a disc of the game.

Here's What We Know

The US developer gave a clear answer, "No. All physical editions do not include a disc. The boxes will only include an activation code for the chosen platform."

The company later deleted this message, which could equally indicate a lack of confidence in the answer and a desire to report it separately.

We await further information from the developer.

When We Can Expect It

Starfield will be released on September 6 on Xbox Series and PC.
