The Premium Edition ofStarfieldhas been givena 30% discount on Steam, dropping the price to $69.99, the same price as the base game at launch. The deal is good until July 11.
Although it’s admittedly a slightly cynical take, it’s also quite true that thisStarfield Premium Editiondiscount essentially makes the to-be-released Shattered Space DLC, which is included in the package, free, since you’d pay the same price at retail for the standard edition of the game that doesn’t include the expansion. Granted, I’m not seeing this discount anywhere except Steam, so this need not apply if you’re playing on console or the Xbox PC launcher.
Director Todd Howard recently shared his insight into the scope of the Shattered Space DLC and what players can expect from the new content, and he directly compared it to Fallout 4’s Far Harbor expansion. Because “the bulk” of the DLC will take place within an entirely new area built just for the DLC, Bethesda has been afforded the opportunity to take a more traditional approach to environment crafting.
“It allows us to build a landscape like we would traditionally do, and have the city and the quest,” he said. “And so, that story takes place there, and the landscape’s kind of… content-wise we’re looking at kind of like what we did with Far Harbor on Fallout 4, where like, okay, this is a scope that works for our development in doing this kind of annual story expansion type of thing.”
Shattered Space is due out sometime this year.
