Starfield Shattered Space DLC unlock and pre-load info ahead of launch

We are finally heading towards the airlock that will release us into the world of Starfield’s first major DLC update, Shattered Space. In many ways, it doesn’t seem like it has been a year since Starfied first came out as Bethesda has been busy constantly improving the game and adding new stuff, but now it is finally time for the devs to push forward the original vision with Shattered Space, an expansion that will focus in one one of the mysterious parts of the original game, the slightly creepy House Va’Runn.

The expansion is going to whizz us off to a new planet and setting and keep things a bit more focused than base Starfield, which has us zipping around the star system.

Bethesda has stated that the planet Va’runn’kai (there are too many apostrophes in that to keep me comfortable) is the sole focus of the expansion, so there will be no new planet hopping this time out.

It will be interesting to see how that changes the experience overall when the expansion arrives in a couple of days time.

When is Shattered Space released?

The Starfield Shattered Space DLC will be released on Monday 30th September for Xbox and PC and costs $29.99/ £25.99. Take a look at the table below for when it releases in your time zone.

Can you pre-load Shattered Space?

The Shattered Space DLC is already available for pre-load so if you want to jump in as soon as it releases and not get stuck in a download queue, you can pre-purchase now and get it downloaded ready for Monday.

Further Starfield DLC

Bethesda is promising at least one more big DLC drop for Starfield but other than that, nothing is known about it. It looks as the the company may be waiting to see the reaction to what is about to arrive on the table next week.
