Prepare for the Launch of Shattered Space

In Shattered Space, Starfield’s first major expansion, you’ll visit the home world of House Va’ruun for the first time. Explore a fully handcrafted new location and unravel the mysteries surrounding the followers of the Great Serpent.

When you arrive in Va’ruun’kai, a massive vortex has destroyed much of the city of Dazra, throwing House Va’ruun into chaos. In Shattered Space, you’ll uncover the mysteries behind the vortex and learn the fate of the survivors of House Va’ruun.

Shattered Space launches on September 30 for Xbox Series X | S and PC.

Owners of the Premium or Constellation Editions of Starfield will receive Shattered Space as part of their original purchase. Owners of the Standard Edition can still purchase the Digital Premium Upgrade for access to Shattered Space plus other digital items including the Digital Art Book, Original Soundtrack, 1,000 Creation Credits and the Constellation Skin pack.

Game Pass subscribers can upgrade to the Premium Edition of Starfield to access Shattered Space.

To start playing the Shattered Space expansion, players must complete the introductory mission of the main quest, One Small Step. After you’ve completed One Small Step, the first time players grav-jump to an orbit that is not used by a mission or encounter, they will receive a distress call and discover a large star station, The Oracle.

Any player can take on the challenge in Shattered Space, but reaching level 35 is recommended for the best experience.

With the many updates and improvements that we’ve made to the Starfield base game, Shattered Space is the perfect time to jump into Starfield. Here are just a few of the new features and improvements we’ve made since launch.

The REV-8 has landed! Now is your chance to explore new frontiers (and reach new heights) in your very own land cruiser. The REV-8 land vehicle is fitted with a mounted turret to fight off hostile wildlife and forward boosters to get you where you want to go fast.

One of the most requested features for Starfield, improved and more detailed surface maps were implemented, adding points of interest. We also added fast travel markers for vendors in cities making getting around in Neon and other large cities much easier.

We also launched Creations for Starfield bringing a whole host of new bespoke content to the game from our devs and Creators.

There have been a few exciting updates to Starfield that allow you to customize the way you play the game, including accessing ship cargo from anywhere in your player inventory, the ability to increase vendor credits and carry capacity.

In addition, we’ve added difficulty settings and the ability to change survival features such as the effects of food and environmental hazards. In terms of combat settings, you can make space combat more difficult or make run-and-gun combat easier.

For an extra challenge, play on the new Extreme difficulty setting!

The added bounty scanner system enables you to seek out and destroy targets with bounties on their heads. For more bounties, check out the Elite Trackers Alliance mission board.

We have also added improved tiers for melee weapons and the ability to improve your melee weapons at crafting benches.

Additionally, you can now research types of ammunition at a Research Station and craft them at an Industrial Workbench. No need to fear running out of ammo for your favorite gun when you can just craft more.

So, jump back into Starfield today and experience these and the many other improvements we’ve made to the game!
