Since the game launched, that question has flown around the web faster than the Millennium Falcon can make the Kessel Run.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no denying that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/movies\/how-to-watch-the-star-wars-movies-in-the-right-order\/\">Star Wars<\/a> fans love a physical disc.

Read on to learn more.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Does Star Wars Battlefront: Classic Collection have a physical disc at launch?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019re sad to report that\u00a0<strong>no, Star Wars Battlefront: Classic Collection does not have a physical disc\u00a0<\/strong>option for players to purchase at launch. There isn\u2019t a physical Nintendo Switch cartridge, either.<\/p>\n<p>The game launched in the early hours of today (14th March 2024), but only as a digital proposition via online storefronts like <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2446550\/STAR_WARS_Battlefront_Classic_Collection\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener noreferrer\">Steam<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendo.com\/us\/store\/products\/star-wars-battlefront-classic-collection-switch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener noreferrer\">Nintendo eShop<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xbox.com\/en-US\/games\/store\/star-wars-battlefront-classic-collection\/9PDKZCQ8J879\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener noreferrer\">Xbox Store<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/store.playstation.com\/en-us\/product\/UP1032-PPSA16941_00-SWBATTLEFRONT000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener noreferrer\">PlayStation Store<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to save a little money on the game, third-party code retailers like CD Keys are often a good place to look.

Our speculation<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We would feel pretty confident in predicting that <strong>Star Wars Battlefront: Classic Collection will probably get a physical disc release at some point in the future.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>However, such a project has not been announced by official sources yet. That\u2019s purely our prediction, and we could be proven wrong in time. Impossible to see, the future is.<\/p>\n<p>The reason we think it\u2019s likely? Aspyr, the company behind this port of the classic Battlefront titles by LucasArts, has released physical disc copies of previous projects plenty of times.<\/p> <p>It sometimes takes a few months after the digital launch to materialise, but there is a precedent there, with Aspyr often <a href=\"https:\/\/limitedrungames.com\/blogs\/news\/from-a-galaxy-far-far-away-limited-run-games-brings-star-wars-knights-of-the-old-republic-to-the-switch-premium-master-editions-to-switch-pc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">working with Limited Run Games<\/a> to make these physical products a reality.<\/p>\n<p>You might remember that Aspyr has worked on loads of Star Wars ports before, and even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/star-wars-heritage-pack-physical-newsupdate\/\" rel=\"noopener\">bundled seven of them together into one physical package<\/a> last year. Perhaps something like that will happen at some point again, with Battlefront included.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll let you know if we hear anything!
