The next leg of the Starfield journey is upon us—the Starfield: Shattered Space launch time is here. Shattered Space is the big story DLC for Bethesda's space RPG, bringing a new explorable location Va’ruun’kai and a mystery about helping restore House Va’ruun.
Bethesda has said that Shattered Space takes place in "an isolated new location" so we should be able to expect that this will be something like 's Far Harbor expansion where you head off to a distinct DLC zone separate from the main game.

Game Pass subscribers can also upgrade their game to the Premium Edition to have access to Shattered Space. For everyone else, Shattered Space is a $30/£26 purchase.
To begin Shattered Space [[link]] once you're in game, you'll need to have at least completed Starfield's intro mission "One Small Step" after which you'll get a distress call from the star station The Oracle. You can technically head into Shattered Space whenever you want at that point, but Bethesda recommends you reach at least level 35.
