Starfield
Summary
A unexampled bug spotted inStarfieldmay be suggest at the arrival of its upcomingShattered SpaceDLC . Bethesda confirmed that it was planning at least one major story DLC for the game in a live flow beforeStarfield ’s main September 2023 launching , but there has been very niggling information surrounding it since , other than its arrival sometime in 2024 .
Fans who purchase the Premium Edition ofStarfieldor advance the Game Pass version will be able-bodied to access theShattered SpaceDLC for free upon its launch , but those who purchased or played the Standard Edition on Game Pass will have to pay for it separately .
In February 2024,players spot an update to the DLC menuvia the game ’s SteamDB page and speculated thatShattered Spacecould be coming in the earlier part of the year , with an promulgation being imminent . It ’s been a month since and there has n’t been any update on this from Bethesda , but a unexampled glitch appearing for a smattering of people in the plot could further tease its arrival .
Starfield ’s upcoming Shattered Space DLC is exciting , but many things require to be done to the base secret plan first to make it a better experience for all .
Some Kind Of Cosmic Glitch Seems To Be Appearing For A Few Starfield Players
Fans Are Speculating What It Could Be
RedditorQuick_Meltook to theStarfieldsubreddit with an image of the glitch , whichappears as some kind of shrunken , surge - out wizard systemfloating in place on a planet , asking " Anybody know what this is ? " Quick_Mel indicate out that it persist when leaving the major planet , being seeable in space , and that it ’s unclear whether it ’s a fixed distance from the musician , mean its size is n’t change , or if it ’s changed its sizing to be much larger in space . Either way , it does n’t seem possible to fly to it .
Quick_Mel also state that it does n’t always appear in photo mode , whichJuicyPony145speculates could be interrelate to how the conditions does n’t show up in this mode either . Gaming with Griff Griffin ’s video on the matter shows footage that ’s been credit as being from Quick_Mel where the bug does appear within photo mode while on the ground , but not when entering photo mode in distance , suggest that it ’s not coherent across the board . With these extra points in nous , it ’s possible that this could be a mere bug , but that did n’t stop musician from contemplate about what it could be if it is an intentional feature .
Less likely possibility include Mr. D.N.A. fromJurassic Parkand a Marvel crosswalk to announce the arrival of Galactus , but one theory fromJordanomega1that does have some deservingness compares it to when a Starborn uses their powers , withperdu17sayingit look like the particles left behind upon a Starborn ’s death , which soon fleet away after . If so , it is possible it could be related to the Starborn ’s power to track unlike dimensions and timeline , something the histrion does upon the end ofStarfield ’s campaign with theNew Game Plus mechanic , especially as the only players report it are seeing it within recent New Game Plus save , rather than their initial one .

There are unlike varying dimensions once Starfield ’s main campaigns are finished . Here are the most interesting one find in the biz .
The Glitch Resembles The Distortions In Starfield’s Entangled Mission
But Nothing Happens When Players React With It
It ’s also deserving notingthe glitch resemble the distortion portals that appear in the missionEntangled . In this missionary station , players can interact with Maria inside a lab inside the Nishina Research Station , and upon tinkering with equipment , a exchangeable - looking straining appears before her . From here , Maria asks the instrumentalist to stand in the distortion , and while nothing initially happens , they will be thrown across the research laboratory after Maria realise some registration to the equipment .
Later , players acquire a Probe Control Unit that enables them to interact with the distortions and pull strings them , earmark them to research the lab ’s parallel of latitude destroyed and entire creation entirely . Quick_Mel did point out that , unlike the distortion inEntangled , nothing hap when they approached the exchangeable - looking bug , regrettably .
Starfield still needs some work , and the Fallout serial provides the perfect inspiration to show what the upcoming expansion could improve .

Does The Glitch Represent Literal Shattered Space?
And Could These Glitches Appear More Often In The Run-Up To The DLC Launch?
The main theory surround this bug is that it represents the titular " Shattered Space " and will grow over time to come along in more player ' sessions in the test - up to the DLC ’s launch , with it at long last being a feature in the expansion . If so , Shattered Spacecould see players using select distortions and portals across the galaxy assome kind of fast - locomotion optionto quickly jumpstart across dimensions , exploring some of the other ostensibly arbitrarily generated possibilities other New Game Plus modes offering .
While Bethesda does n’t postulate to resort to guerilla - dash selling maneuver , this would certainly be an interesting way to build hype for the DLC , showing as space gradually becomes more and more broken with sub - space tear and faulting until in the end it shatter and leads to the whole new story subject . With Bethesda being extremely quiet regarding what the account and DLC depicted object will arrest , this would be a fun build - up that would gradually introduce these concepts . However , with only a handful of people experiencing and reporting it so far , it could be possible that it ’s merely a bug , and will get patched out in time . One affair ’s for certain though : with ShatteredDimensionsexpected to found this year , Starfieldplayers should determine out more concrete information about the coming content soon .
