The first expansion for the game, Shattered Space, is set to be released this year. Details about it are yet to be fully disclosed by Bethesda, but it is expected to bring new story content, locations, gear, and more. There is anticipation for updates that will provide more information about the expansion’s content and features. Apart from the expansion, Starfield has been regularly updated with new content every six weeks since February.
Bethesda has plans to introduce new gameplay options, difficulties, and official mod support. While the game initially received positive reviews from critics, it experienced a drop in its Steam rating due to criticisms about the emptiness of its galaxy and repetitive open worlds. The potential of Shattered Space to address these criticisms is a topic of speculation until Bethesda reveals more details. Fans have suggested ideas for expansions, including giant mechs, farming, and the ability to transform outposts into cities.
Players on PC are encouraged to explore these options while awaiting the release of Shattered Space. Set in a fictional universe outside of our Solar System, Starfield places the player in the role of a member of the Constellation, a group of explorers striving to discover new worlds.
