Starfield: Shattered Space Premium Edition Upgrade Path

Some of you may be thinking 'didn't I already buy some Starfield DLC? Does that include Shattered Space?' Well, if you bought the Premium Edition of the game, or the Premium Upgrade DLC, then yes - you already have access to Shattered Space!

This upgrade was touted lots around launch because it included early access to the base game, but yep, it also includes access to the game's first big expansion. Here's how Bethesda reminded us of this just a few weeks ago:

"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 base edition can still purchase the 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."

Starfield Shattered Space: What To Expect From The DLC

In recent weeks, Bethesda has done a few deep dives on its Shattered Space expansion and what players can expect from the DLC pack. To sum those up, the team is this time focusing on a "fully handcrafted location" in Shattered Space, also delivering what sounds like a darker main storyline than the base game.

"House Va’ruun is on the brink of collapse and their people need help finding a path forward. When your sudden presence on their hidden home planet is seen by some as divine intervention, it’s up to you to restore House Va’ruun and decide the fate of this secretive faction."

Well, there you have it. Starfield Shattered Space is just a few days away now, and we hope this guide has given you some useful info on what to expect from the big Bethesda DLC. Into the starfield once again, space explorers!
