Just a day after Bethesda said Starfield's physical release would not include a disc, a new post has appeared on the company's website claiming otherwise — for Xbox users at least.
Word that Starfield's physical editions would not include a disc first came via a tweet from Bethesda support, which, in answer to a customer query, said, «All physical editions include a code for the chosen platform. There are no physical discs».

As part of a section detailing exactly what purchasers of Starfield's various edition can expect receive with their copy, Bethesda writes, «Game disc included with physical purchases of Xbox Standard Edition. Game code included with physical purchases on PC Standard edition.»
That, you'd assume, is Bethesda's official, final word on Starfield's physical disc situation, given it's support arm deleted its tweet shortly after posting. I have, however, asked the company if it can provide a definitive statement on the matter, just so we can put this whole thing to bed once and for all.
