Starfield: Shattered Space DLC Gets Release Date, New Vehicle Update Out Today

As a seasoned spacefarer with countless hours logged into various interstellar adventures, I can’t help but feel a surge of anticipation when it comes to Bethesda’s announcement regarding the launch date for Starfield: Shattered Space. The Great Serpent and its followers? A new area of space? Count me in!


As a dedicated Starfield fan, I couldn’t contain my excitement when Bethesda finally unveiled the release date for Shattered Space, the highly anticipated expansion for Starfield! Earlier this summer, Bethesda hinted that Shattered Space would grace Starfield sometime this fall, but left us eager fans guessing. Well, we’ve been waiting and wondering, and now our patience has been rewarded! The wait is almost over, as Shattered Space will be launching in less than a month!

In a fresh trailer unveiled at Gamescom, the upcoming expansion for Starfield: Shattered Space, titled “Starfield: Shattered Space – The Great Serpent’s Tale”, has been announced to launch on September 30th. Simultaneously dropping on both Xbox and PC platforms, this expansion will also be accessible through Xbox Game Pass. The DLC promises to transport players to a fresh region of space, focusing on the tale of the Great Serpent and its devoted followers.

Starting from now on, expect an update for Starfield later today which introduces the REV-8 vehicle into the game. Since its debut about a year back, players have frequently asked for land vehicles in Starfield. Finally, their wish is granted as this feature arrives on both Xbox and PC platforms today, along with other improvements.
