How To Start The Starfield Shattered Space DLC / Expansion

Update: We're seeing a lot of reports from players who have been unable to start the Starfield Shattered Space DLC so far. The most popular issue that people are running into features an untextured planet and the words "Lookup Failed".

We haven't come across a 100% fix at the time of writing, but we'd suggest restarting your console (to force any required updates) in the first instance, and then trying to launch the game without any mods installed.

So, you've bought Starfield Shattered Space, and now you want to know how to start it? Look no further!

To start the Shattered Space expansion, you'll need to complete the first mission of Starfield called One Small Step. This is the fairly lengthy tutorial mission that sends you out on a quest and ends with you talking to Sarah in the library.

Once you've done this, you'll need to grav-jump to an orbit that isn't being used by a mission or encounter, which will prompt a distress call and unveil a large star station called The Oracle. This is where the Shattered Space DLC begins.

So, it's that simple! All you have to do is complete the first mission of Starfield, and then you'll be able to access Shattered Space. The big thing to be aware of though is that Bethesda recommends you're Level 35 before checking out this expansion, so anyone who's under that level may find it a lot tougher than other players.

How are you getting on with Shattered Space so far? We'd love to hear from you in the comments below!
