For those of us who thoroughly enjoy Starfield and still continue playing through its exploration-based universe after one year, the first expansion proves monumental. It will be a huge story drop, with more information on House Va’ruun finally expanding the universe. But how long must we wait?! Here is what you should know about the Starfield Shattered Space release time!
Starfield: Shattered Space Release Times
Starfield: Shattered Space launches September 30 in most territories, though due to time zones, it will release early morning on October 1 for some countries, like Japan and Australia. Depending on what type of player you are, you may want to set your clock for one of the following release times:
- PST – 8:00 AM
- CST – 10:00 AM
- EST – 11:00 AM
- BST – 4:00 PM
- CEST – 5: 00 PM
- CET – 6:00 PM
- JST – 12:00 AM (October 1)
- AEST – 1:00 AM (October 1)
From the time of this writing, you have some time to prepare your character and game for the expansion. You’ll want to level up, unlock the Rev-8, and acquire plenty of weapons, health kits, and ammunition to deal with Va’ruun’kai!

What’s New in Shattered Space?
As the first major expansion for Starfield, Shattered Space will expand quite a bit of the game’s lore by prioritizing the most mysterious faction in the Settled Systems: House Va’ruun. You can expect:
- Fifty all-new locations in and around Va’ruun’kai.
- Brand-new grenades and grenade crafting system.
- Challenging enemies, including the Redeemed and Vortex Horrors.
- Zealots, Spacers, and Crimson Fleet return with a vengeance.
- Approximately 10 hours of story-based gameplay.
I don’t know about you, but I intend to spend more than 10 hours exploring Shattered Space. It’s more like 10 hours on a single dungeon, but we’ll see.
