The Shattered Space expansion takes you to an entirely new planet in Starfield, where you have to help shape the future of House Va’ruun. You’ll meet new characters, take on fresh quests, and explore a hand-crafted planet. Whether you’re thinking about buying (at a discount) or playing Shattered Space or you want to know how far along you are in your current playthrough, knowing how long it takes to beat the DLC is worthwhile knowledge.
Below, you can see a rough estimate of how long it takes to beat Shattered Space as well as a full quest list.
How long to beat Starfield Shattered Space
As with any game or expansion, the time it ultimately takes you to get through Shattered Space is reliant on a few different factors. First and foremost, your time to beat the DLC mainly depends on how much exploring you do on Va’ruun’kai, the new planet where the entirety of the expansion takes place. If you simply blow through the main story without taking part in side content or outside exploration, you’ll have a much shorter overall playtime.
That said, the entire main story in Shattered Space takes roughly eight hours to get through. This assumes you’re not dying repeatedly, make one choice per quest and stick with it, and run from quest to quest without doing anything else. If you’re on a higher difficulty level or reload saves to see the outcomes of different choices in certain quests, your overall playtime can be bumped to close to 10 hours.
In addition to the main story, there are 11 total side quests available to complete on Va’ruun’kai in Shattered Space. Some of these quests are shorter, but others are longer, so completing all of them will take around seven hours. Once again, this assumes you’re not reloading too many saves or dying frequently. Your playtime could also be bumped up trying to locate and start all seven side quests, as some of them require you to visit different locations on Va’ruun’kai outside of Dazra.
All in all, if you complete the main story, find and finish all seven side quests, and do some exploration on Va’ruun’kai, you can expect to put in anywhere from 15-20 hours in Shattered Space.
