It appears that Bethesda will not be releasing the upcoming Starfield game in disc form, as according to their support team, the game will only be released in the form of digital codes, even for premium copies of it.

A player asked Bethesda support on Twitter if Starfield would be released on disc. The support team responded that the game will only be released as digital codes, which also includes special copies of the game that come with a digital download code.

After the team's response spread on Twitter, we were surprised that the tweet was deleted for no reason, but we managed to capture a screenshot of the response, as seen below.

The game has become the talk of the internet and is trending on Twitter. This is due to statements Bethesda made about the game during the ongoing trial between the FTC and Microsoft over the latter's acquisition of Activision. Starfield was originally scheduled to be released exclusively on the PS5 before Microsoft acquired Bethesda.

According to statements by Pete Hines, head of the company that developed the game (according to Polygon), the decision to cancel the PS5 version and work on the title exclusively for Microsoft platforms contributed greatly to leaving the game in better condition, according to his description.

It is worth mentioning that the Starfield game will be released for PC and Xbox Series X|S in September of this year, with the game being available from day one via Xbox Game Pass.
