Starfield: Shattered Space received Steam’s “Mixed” label at launch, when 42% of 681 purchaser reviews were positive. That is a historical snapshot, not its current all-time rating. In a Steam listing snapshot observed on October 8, 2026, English all-time reviews were “Mostly Negative,” while the much smaller recent-review sample was “Mixed.”
What is Shattered Space’s Steam rating now?
Steam separates its English-language all-time reviews from its recent reviews. In the listing snapshot observed on October 8, 2026, the two categories showed different labels:
| # | Preview | Product | Price | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |
|
Starfield Visual Compendium | $36.40 | Buy on Amazon |
| 2 |
|
Starfield Shattered Space: Guide complet pour explorer, combattre et survivre dans les confins de... | $19.55 | Buy on Amazon |
| Steam review window | Label | Positive | Reviews | Observed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| English, all time | Mostly Negative | 29% | 3,038 | October 8, 2026 |
| English, recent | Mixed | 41% | 12 | October 8, 2026 |
The recent category’s 12 reviews are a much smaller sample than the all-time pool, so its “Mixed” label does not overturn or replace the all-time rating. Steam’s review counts and labels change as users post reviews; these figures are a dated snapshot, not a permanent score. Check Steam’s listing for the current display.
Why did the expansion get mixed reviews at launch?
GamesRadar reported that, at launch, 42% of 681 Steam purchaser reviews were positive, which Steam labeled “Mixed.” Its coverage described recurring player criticisms of the expansion’s amount of content, gear some players considered reskinned, the area available to explore, and a main story that some players said they finished in a handful of hours. These are reported reactions, not independently measured playtime or content-volume findings. GamesRadar’s launch coverage captures that earlier reception snapshot.
