*Update: Shattered Space is now live and is an 18.44gb download for a patch along with a 8.7gb download for Shattered Space itself, on both Xbox and the Microsoft PC Store


The pre-load is 14.9gb total in size on Xbox consoles. As of the time of writing, it is not available on the Microsoft Store version for PC as a pre-load and downloading it on Xbox gives you a 10mb placeholder. This is the first expansion for last year’s title, taking place on a new planet, Va’Ruun’kai, home to House Va’Ruun. The DLC describes itself as:


Shattered Space is a new story expansion for Starfield, Bethesda Game Studios’ epic role-playing game and first new universe in more than twenty-five years. A mysterious power stirs in the city of Dazra on House Va’Ruun’s hidden homeworld. Investigate a frightening cosmic threat, explore a new planet, and find unique weapons, spacesuits, and gear in this all-new adventure.

When a distress signal from a derelict starstation sparks a journey to Va’Ruun’kai, the veil of secrecy surrounding the worshippers of a deity known as “The Great Serpent” is finally lifted. Immerse yourself in the dark and complex world of House Va’Ruun, as you navigate a tense political landscape, uncover the history of the Va’Ruun people and help decide the fate of the faction in the wake of a cataclysmic event.


We loved the often maligned title, giving it a 9.7 at launch and stating:


“The Space Game” is how Todd Howard described Starfield. Bethesda Game Studio is one of the most successful developers in the industry. The Elder Scrolls and revamped Fallout series are beloved for their dedication to simulation. Starfield takes those core tenets, modernizes them, and expands the scope to span a galaxy. One filled with over a thousand planets, some of the best lighting I’ve ever seen, and a main storyline that is up there as one of my favorites of all time.

Starfield is polished to a sheen in a way no prior BGS title has been, showing off the benefits of the extra time afforded to it after Xbox’s acquisition of Zenimax. Seen as one of the most important games in Xbox’s history they have done the impossible and lived up to the hype. Let’s start this review by breaking down just what this game is, and how it all comes together to still have that Bethesda Games Studio heart.”

    It sounds small, but I remember how small Skyrim was in terms of file size and how huge that game overall was. Iirc it has to do with their compression tech and it’s quite impressive.

    Knowing BGS we’re in for a meaty expansion.

  3. So close!

  4. I was hoping we would have reviews by now… fingers crossed people got earlier access and we get some tomorrow

  5. No early reviews
