Bethesda Clarifies the Inclusion of the Game Disc
Complaints Made Bethesda Change Their Minds
Bethesda, the developers of upcoming game Starfield, had to clarify in a blog post that they will be including a game disc for the physical editions of the game. It was stated that a game disc will be included with the physical purchases of Xbox Standard Edition, while PC users will only receive a game code, even in the physical purchase of PC Standard Edition.
Fans are speculating that, since Starfield promises to be a huge game, the game disc will only include part of the game and therefore will still require a download. It's assumed that there would have at least 2 discs for it to fit the entire game.
