Starfield Vehicle Lets You 'Go GTA'
The addition of a piloted vehicle to Starfield opens up the game to player behavior that seems more reminiscent of the Grand Theft Auto series.
The September 30 release date for Starfield's Shattered Space DLC was also announced at Gamescom Opening Night Live, just after the REV-8 was unveiled. Shattered Space is the first major Starfield expansion, and it's set to give fans good reason to return to the open world sci-fi RPG. Shattered Space is going all-in on horror vibes, which should ensure that it offers a distinct experience from the base game and stands out on its own compared to the existing content in the game.

- Monday, September 30
As revealed by the DLC's Steam description, Starfield's Shattered Space DLC will have players visit the House of Va'Ruun homeworld of Va'Ruun'kai, specifically the city of Dazra, all the while dealing with "a frightening cosmic threat" tied to the Great Serpent.

Those interested in trying Starfield's Shattered Space expansion for themselves should note that it retails for $29.99 as a standalone product, but it's also a part of the game's Premium Upgrade.

The Shattered Space DLC was also a part of the package, so anyone that pulled the trigger on the Premium Edition Upgrade back in the day should definitely circle September 30 on their calendars and plan their return trip to Starfield.
