When does Starfield Shattered Space release? Launch time in every region

As a seasoned gamer with countless hours spent traversing galaxies far and wide, I eagerly await the arrival of Starfield Shattered Space on September 30. The intrigue surrounding the handcrafted Va’ruun’kai plane piques my curiosity, and I can hardly contain my excitement for this new expansion.


September 30th marks the arrival of my long-anticipated adventure, Starfield Shattered Space! This epic journey will see me venturing into uncharted territories with the debut of its very first expansion that introduces a never-before-seen destination – the mesmerizing Va’ruun’kai plane for me to explore.

In contrast to Starfield, which boasts an expansive feature due to its over 1,000 procedurally generated planets, Shattered Space offers a more targeted experience. Instead of the worlds within being randomly generated, the entirety of the DLC’s setting, Va’ruun’kai, is meticulously crafted by hand.

If you’re itching to get into the expansion, here’s when it will be released across all regions.

When does Starfield Shattered Space release? Launch time in every region

As per the Xbox App for Windows, the game Starfield Shattered Space is set to debut at 4 PM British Summer Time on September 30th. However, since no other sources have confirmed this, release times could vary depending on your platform or location. For now, these timings are considered accurate.

Can you preload Shattered Space?

At the moment of writing, it’s not possible to preload Starfield Shattered Space; instead, you can only pre-purchase it. In contrast, the primary game allowed for a preload phase nearly two weeks prior to its launch, but this doesn’t appear to be the case with the expansion.

How big is the file size?

There seems to be some discrepancy regarding the size of Shattered Space expansion. The Xbox App for Windows indicates that it’s only 17.01 MB, but this appears too small considering that Steam suggests having around 125 GB of free space, which is similar to the base game’s size.

We’ll likely know more about Shattered Space’s file size closer to its September 30 launch.

First thing you should do

After downloading Starfield Shattered Space, you’ll likely want to navigate your way to the freshly introduced Va’ruun’kai planet. This is where all the DLC content unfolds, allowing you to embark on the main quest, engage in side quests with non-player characters (NPCs), or delve into House Va’ruun’s homeworld for some exploration.
