After yesterdays news that Starfield might not have a physical disc, Bethesda has come in to clarify the following

Starfield Standard Edition is included with Xbox Game Pass. Game disc included with physical purchases of Xbox Standard Edition. Game code included with physical purchases on PC Standard edition.

It's good to hear that the standard edition will have a physical option, but Xbox and Sony both need to figure out their collector's editions for physical collectors while having digital only console versions.

It makes zero sense to include a steelbook for a digital download. Am I missing something? It's practically begging people to double dip, and it's a finger to physical disc collectors/preferences by not providing an option to get one with the disc. Oh you want the collector's editions items and a disc? Better buy it twice, suckers.

If stores can sell digital and physical standard editions, they can sell digital and physical collector's editions. It's just another way to normalize digital only, IMO.

And I'm not even interested in this collector's edition or most.
