The Shattered Space expansion transports you to a brand-new planet in Starfield, where you must assist in shaping the destiny of House Va'ruun. You'll encounter fresh faces, embark on novel quests, and explore a meticulously crafted world. Whether you're considering purchasing (at a reduced price) or diving into Shattered Space, or simply want to gauge your progress in your current playthrough, understanding the time it takes to complete the DLC is valuable information.
Below, you'll find a rough estimate of the time required to beat Shattered Space, along with a comprehensive quest list. As with any game or expansion, the actual time you'll spend depends on several factors. Primarily, your completion time hinges on how extensively you explore Va'ruun'kai, the new planet that serves as the backdrop for the entire expansion. If you rush through the main storyline without engaging in side activities or additional exploration, your overall playtime will be significantly shorter.
On average, the main story in Shattered Space can be completed in about eight hours. This estimate assumes you don't die repeatedly, make a single choice per quest, and proceed directly from one quest to the next without any detours. However, if you're playing on a higher difficulty level or reloading saves to explore different outcomes, your total playtime could extend to nearly 10 hours.
In addition to the main story, Shattered Space offers 11 side quests on Va'ruun'kai. Some of these quests are brief, while others are more extensive, requiring around seven hours to complete all of them. This estimate again assumes you're not frequently reloading saves or dying. Your playtime might increase if you spend additional time locating and initiating all seven side quests, as some require you to visit various spots on Va'ruun'kai beyond Dazra.
In summary, if you complete the main story, tackle all seven side quests, and engage in some exploration on Va'ruun'kai, you can expect to invest between 15-20 hours in Shattered Space. Below, you'll find a list of all main story missions and side quests available in the DLC. This list is useful for tracking your progress in the main story or identifying the remaining side quests you need to complete.
