Bethesda lead addresses Starfield Shattered Space criticism: "Nobody, and I mean nobody, at Bethesda is patting themselves on the back while ignoring our players"

Starfield Shattered Space The Duel side mission Amila, Borhal, and Danika arguing.

Bethesda Game Studios studio design director Emil Pagliarulo has commented on some of the negative feedback to Starfield's Shattered Space DLC.

Starfield's first story expansion launched last week to 42% positive "mixed" reviews on Steam, and it's since dropped to just 30% positive reviews, earning it a "mostly negative" rating at the time of writing. Our own Starfield Shattered Space review awarded the expansion 3/5 stars and praised "some memorable side quests" while noting an at-times "lackluster" main questline and lack of follow-through on promised horror elements.
