How to start Starfield: Shattered Space DLC on Xbox and Windows PC

As a seasoned spacefarer and Bethesda enthusiast with countless hours logged within the sprawling realms of Skyrim, Fallout, and beyond, I eagerly embarked upon the cosmic odyssey that is Starfield: Shattered Space. Having mastered the art of traversing the vast expanses of the universe in my trusty ship, I was more than ready to delve into this new expansion.


Va’ruun’kai awaits.

The initial extension for Bethesda Game Studios’ sci-fi RPG, Starfield, has been released! Known as Shattered Space, this add-on aligns more with the design ethos of previous Bethesda games like Fallout and The Elder Scrolls, as it is set entirely within a single location.

Starfield: Shattered Space isn’t a standalone game; instead, it’s integrated into the main game. So, you can’t simply jump in and play it without prior experience with the main game. But don’t fret! Follow my guide, and you’ll be exploring the perils of House Va’ruun in no time. Here’s a guide on how to start Starfield: Shattered Space on Xbox and Windows PC.

How to start Starfield: Shattered Space

First off, you’ll want to make sure you actually own the Shattered Space expansion for Starfield. 

If you own the Premium Edition of the game, you already possess it. If you purchased the Standard Edition of Starfield, or if you’re accessing it via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass, you’ll require the Premium Upgrade to enjoy its additional features.

After purchasing Starfield: Shattered Space, ensure that the game is properly installed on your device. The installation file size is approximately 15GB.

Ultimately, join the game and proceed to begin a fresh adventure. To initiate this, ensure you have successfully accomplished the primary mission titled “One Small Step”. Once done, find an opportunity for a Grav Jump in the cosmos that isn’t associated with a main objective or random event. The specific timing of when it occurs is beyond your power, but try making a few jumps, and you’ll eventually discover one. Upon doing so, you’ll unexpectedly stumble upon a station floating in space known as “The Oracle”. Your comrades will remark that this station is not charted on the existing maps.

Approaching will uncover a peculiar plea for assistance, initiating a mission on your journal labeled “What Remains,” setting the stage for Starfield: Shattered Space, and eventually guiding you towards the planet Va’ruun’kai within the Kavnyk system.

It’s permissible to begin exploring the expansion now, but it’s strongly advised that your character is at least level 35 or higher. This is because the DLC contains difficult content that may be too intense for characters just starting out.

Starfield: Shattered Space LOOKUP FAILED bug

Some gamers have been experiencing an issue where their teammates’ dialogues seem to play as intended, but the related quest or space station fails to materialize, and the captions display a capitalized error message “LOOKUP FAILED.

Should you encounter an issue while playing, ensure that you’ve not only downloaded Starfield: Shattered Space but also the most recent game update. Running the updated version of the game from a save point prior to the bug should resolve the problem.

Starfield and Starfield: Shattered Space are at present accessible on Xbox Series X|S gaming consoles and Windows PCs. The standard version of Starfield comes with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass memberships.
