What you need to know
- Shattered Space is a DLC for Bethesda's space exploration RPG Starfield. Having first been announced when Starfield released, Shattered Space finally launched on Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC earlier this week.
- However, all signs indicate Shattered Space hasn't generated significant player interest, with Starfield's concurrent player count only rising slightly in the wake of its release.
- Specifically, since the expansion launched, Starfield has been averaging 14-16,000 concurrent players on Steam — far fewer than other recent AAA games and their DLCs like Elden Ring and Cyberpunk 2077. It's likely doing better on Xbox and the Microsoft Store (it's on Game Pass, but Shattered Space isn't), though it still isn't in the top 25 most-played Xbox games.
- This just barely pushes the game past 2015's Fallout 4 — Bethesda's previous single player RPG. At the moment, it has about 13-15,000 Steam players at any given time.
