Starfield: Shattered Space - How Long is the DLC?

After more than a year since the official launch of Starfield, Bethesda's latest sci-fi RPG, they have finally released the first major DLC for the game, Shattered Space. In this expansion, players are going to be able to learn more about one of the most intriguing factions in the base game, House Va'ruun, by traveling to their homeworld of Va’ruun’kai. With how vast the base game of Starfield is, allowing players to explore over 1,000 planets, some might be wondering how much content they are going to find in this expansion. In this article, we are going to go over how many hours you can expect to get out of the new Shattered Space expansion for Starfield.

How Long is Starfield: Shattered Space?

The Shattered Space expansion for Starfield brings a decent amount of new content to the game, with a main story that spans seven main missions, each with its own list of objectives. It also offers a good amount of exploration for players, with Va’ruun’kai mostly abandoning the procedural generation of the base game in favor of a more handcrafted approach. Choosing to explore, as well as taking a dive through the different side missions, is also going to impact the amount of time you are going to get out of this DLC. Based on all of this, we can expect players to find between 10 and 30 hours of content in Shattered Space, which all depends on how much you are going to explore, as well as which difficulty you decide to experience it on.

The Shattered Space expansion has opened up to mixed reviews, which is mostly due to the lack of reworks and features in the existing game.

Only time will tell if Bethesda is working on more updates for the base game, but for now, players can take a dive into Va’ruun’kai and experience the new story that the developers have been working on.
