Bethesda Softworks is one of the very few major publishers that still cares about boxed PC games. Even even after the company was bought by Microsoft, Bethesda did not give up this pleasant habitas evidenced by the recently released vampire action game Redfall or the upcoming sci-fi RPG Starfield. But if you buy the box, of course, you will only find the Steam activation key in it. And now it seems that, at least in the case of Starfield, the boxed versions of the Xbox Series X|S will be the same.

Lekkos has already hinted that in the Starfield Constellation Edition, instead of the game disc, you will find a label with an engraved key. And yesterday, the Bethesda support Twitter account, in response to a question from one of the players, reported that all physical versions of the game include a key for the selected platform. So they don’t have a disc..
It should be noted that The tweet was soon deleted, but nothing is hidden on the Internet, and so we have, for example, the screenshot pointed out by British Eurogamer. However, we may wonder if this is a legitimate Bethesda customer support Twitter account, if the tweeter had more than just a PC, and why the post was deleted. But the account name definitely looks right, the possibility that everything only applies to PC boxes is ruled out by words about the chosen platformand the deletion of the tweet is most likely just because someone here revealed something that is not yet the time.
Naturally, some fans and most fans of physical media and the idea of owning or archiving video games don’t like this news too much. But naturally we have here Opinions that the disc in the box does not matter, when nowadays it is almost always necessary to download some additional data after inserting the disc into the console driveso you can play at all. We can also find the PC version in the current hardware requirements. 125 GB free space requirement on SSDso it can be assumed that even on the Xbox Starfield there will not be a small thing that would easily fit on a physical medium.
While everything should now be taken with a grain of salt, Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S owners planning to buy a boxed version of Starfield should be prepared for the fact that the box won’t include a disc anyway.. So we officially welcome them to the world of PC gamers. With the difference that on PC, apart from Bethesda and EA, all major publishers are coughing up more regular releases of boxed sets. And it looks like we may just be living through the dawn of an era when physical media as such will begin to spread across platforms.
