It looks like Bethesda won't be releasing the upcoming Starfield game in disc form, as according to its 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 in the form of digital codes, which also includes special copies of the game that will come with a digital code to download the game.
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 town on the internet right now and is trending on Twitter. The reason is because of the statements Bethesda made about the game during the ongoing trial between the FTC and Microsoft over the latter's acquisition of Activision. Starfield was supposed 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 step of canceling the PS5 version and working on the title exclusively for Microsoft platforms contributed a lot to leaving the game in better conditions, according to his description.
It is worth mentioning that the Starfield game will be released for PC and Xbox Series X|S in September this year, with the game being available from day one via Xbox Game Pass.
