Starfield has seen its share of ups and downs since its launch, but it has nonetheless prevailed as one of 2023’s most ambitious space RPGs. Now, the excitement is building for its hyped-up DLC, Shattered Space. While the expansion is yet to be released, many players who have been enjoying the game through Xbox Game Pass are left wondering whether the DLC will also be available via the subscription service. Well, we’re here to provide you with all the answers.
The Shattered Space DLC is set for release on September 30 for PC, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X. With potential new storylines, factions, and planets, it’s looking to be an exciting expansion. For Xbox Game Pass users, having this DLC included would be a major advantage, providing access to fresh content without the extra cost. But will this happen? Will the game even be available on Xbox Game Pass? Let’s find out.
Will Starfield DLC be on Game Pass?
As of now, Bethesda has not officially confirmed whether the Shattered Space DLC for Starfield will be available for free through Xbox Game Pass. Still, some speculations can be made. Check them out below!
Will it be available?
With no official information, what we can speculate is that Shattered Space will not be available for free to the Game Pass subscribers. This is because if you look at the present Game Pass library, it does include Starfield but only the base game. Yes, that’s right; as expected, only the base game is covered in the subscription. So, is there no way for Game Pass players to try out the DLC? Well, there are a couple of ways, which we have discussed below.
How to access the DLC?
For those with a Game Pass subscription, these are the choices. Weigh out the pros and cons of your case and see what seems to be the best option for you.
- Starfield Premium Edition (Upgrade): Available for $31.49 (or $34.99 without discount), this upgrade unlocks not just Shattered Space but any other future DLC content as well.
- Shattered Space as a Standalone DLC: You can purchase the Shattered Space expansion on its own for $26.99 (or $29.99 without discount).
- Starfield Premium Edition (Outright Purchase): For a discounted price of $79.99 with Game Pass, players can buy the Premium Edition, which grants access to the full game along with all future DLCs, making sure that you own the content permanently.
Tip: If you are planning to keep the Game Pass services for future games as well, going for the Premium edition of the game with the Game Pass discount is what we recommend doing. This way, you can guarantee yourself all the released content and other potential future updates without having to pay for each future DLC separately.
