A recently registered trademark filed by ZeniMax Media implies that Starfield will follow up Shattered Space with an expansion bearing the name Starborn. Though the team at Bethesda has shied away from revealing any details about Shattered Space beyond its trailer, Todd Howard has assured fans that Starfield would receive more than just one expansion as part of its post-launch support. Despite having a mixed reception at launch, Starfield shattered Bethesda's records and, according to the publisher, had 10 million players during its peak, either playing via the Xbox Game Pass or through a purchased copy.
That being said, Starfield remains Bethesda's lowest rated game on Steam, with an overall user rating of 59%. While it tried to emulate the sandbox charm of past Bethesda titles, its procedural generation and uninspired setting were often a source of criticism. With over 250 employees still working on Starfield, a significant amount of resources was spent on addressing some of its most glaring problems, such as not having a city map or official modding support. While these additions have been welcomed by fans, Shattered Space will likely be the deciding factor in how Starfield measures up against other Creation Engine titles.
