Will the Starfinder Society Player's Guide be a PDF / Book?

I'm currently watching the PaizoCon 2025 Organized Play panel, and it is mentioned that the Starfinder Society Player's Guide will be including the Ikeshti and the Shobhad ancestries. As far as I knew, Society Guides like the Roleplaying Guide Guides were no longer done in pdf format, and were now hosted on Lorespire. I do not participate in Society games, so I don't know the workings of it that well, so my apologies if the answer is more obvious. But will these races be available via a pdf? Or will they only be hosted on Lorespire (and hopefully AoN)? Would there be a web supplement? Or will this actually be a book akin to the Pathfinder Lost Omens Pathfinder Society Guide book?

Alright, turns out another panel, Adventures in the Cosmos, explains that this will be a free pdf that sounds akin to the Roleplaying Guild Guides. That's awesome. Looking forward to seeing it.

I think my big question in that regard will be, where will those who aren't part of Starfinder Society be able to find that PDF? I would very much like my shobhad and ikeshti, thank you very much! XD

I would imagine at the bare minimum there will be a Paizo Blog post that contains a link to the PDF, or at worse, and link to the website where you will find the link to the PDF. From my experience with PFS, there won't be any gatekeeping on this, so it shouldn't be difficult to get a copy, even if you don't sign up for PFS/SFS

I would imagine it will be in the Archive of Nethys, which should say what the original source is.
