According to a tweet by Bethesda support in response to a question asked regarding Starfield’s physical versions, all physical editions of the game include a code for the chosen platform, and will have no physical discs. However, a tweet from the Bethesda Español account states the game’s standard edition will in fact, come with a disc, but the Constellation Edition will have the game’s downloadable code engraved on a collector’s item included in the bundle. The original tweet from Bethesda Support has since been deleted. Starfield will launch on September 6 for Xbox Series X/S and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store.
The game’s details via the publisher:
Starfield is the first new universe in over 25 years from Bethesda Game Studios, the award-winning creators of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Fallout 4. In this next generation role-playing game set amongst the stars, create your character and explore with unparalleled freedom as you embark on an epic journey to answer humanity’s greatest mystery.
In the year 2330, humanity has ventured beyond our solar system, settling new planets, and living as a spacefaring people. You will join Constellation—the last group of space explorers seeking rare artifacts throughout the galaxy—and navigate the vast expanse of space in Bethesda Game Studios’ biggest and most ambitious game.
Along the way you will join in the adventures of various factions; pilot and customize your own ship; explore planets and discover their local flora, fauna, and resources; build outposts; and master a refined combat system to deal with threats of all kinds.
