Starfield Constellation Edition Comes With No Physical Disc

Starfield

What the hell is even the point of that?!

The other day saw many perplexed gamers. After all, a support representative for Bethesda basically said in a now-deleted tweet that all physical copies of the upcoming Starfield wouldn’t actually include a disc. At which point, you’d have to wonder why they bothered putting out physical boxes at all.

The reality, however, is even more boggling. A tweet from Bethesda Español clarified things, at least for the Spanish-speaking audience. Whether or not you get a physical disc is based on which edition you got. For example, the Standard Edition has a disc. Which makes sense, because that’s what you’re going to find in stores. However, the Constellation Edition (which is Starfield‘s collectors edition) doesn’t come with a disc; there’s a download code engraved on one of the collectibles.

Hello partners! It depends on the edition. For example, the standard has a disc, while the Constellation Edition has a code engraved on a collector’s item, which you can see in the image

It’s hard not to marvel at this, though. They’re selling what basically amounts to a bunch of feelies for $300, and not providing a hard copy of the game. There’s a steelbook in this package that presumably has NO FUCKING DISC in it. What is the point of that?! It’s described as a display case, so what does it hold? Does it come with something else in it? The site sure doesn’t say.

Anyway, I guess you can go buy a second copy of Starfield to stick in the steelbook you got, or something. It just works.
