Starfield: How Long Will it takes to Beat Shattered Space DLC?

Bethesda’s DLCs have always been known for giving players extra hours (and then some) to lose themselves in. Now, Starfield fans have something new to chew on: the Shattered Space DLC. This time, we’re headed to the homeworld of House Va’ruun, you know a mysterious religious group that’s been lurking around since the game’s launch?

Judging by the promos and trailer, it’s packed with new mechanics, a fresh storyline, and plenty of explorations.

You know, everything you’d expect from a Starfield DLC.

But before you get back to play this game again, you’re probably wondering—how long is this thing gonna take?

So, How Long is Shattered Space DLC?

If you’re the type of player who sticks to the main story, you’re looking at about 10 hours of gameplay. That’s only if you’re focused and not getting sidetracked by every shiny object.

But we all know that’s easier said than done.

Because let’s be honest—who really plays a Bethesda game like that? If you’re anything like me, you’re not rushing.

You’re taking your time, exploring every corner, tackling side quests, and maybe even getting lost in space a few times.

And If you plan on doing everything Shattered Space has to offer, you’re in for 25 to 30 hours of gameplay.

From hidden secrets to side missions that’ll grab your attention faster than a space pirate ambushThere’s a lot to explore here.

The new planet alone is a rabbit hole of content, and before you know it, you’ll be deep in a quest you never even meant to start.

Now, I can’t give you a one-size-fits-all answer because everyone plays differently.

Maybe you’re the type to go after every collectible or unravel every bit of lore. Or maybe you’ll get stuck on a boss fight because you ran out of ammo (we’ve all been there).

But if you’ve played any Bethesda DLC before, you know you’re signing up for a serious time investment.

What’s really cool is that Shattered Space is Bethesda’s biggest expansion yet—at least in terms of file size. Clocking in at a hefty 12GB, you know there’s a ton of content packed into this download.
