The Starfield universe continues to grow with the arrival of the new Terran Armada content, a mini-expansion that can now be downloaded on Xbox Series, PC, and other platforms. If you have the right edition or included access, you can start playing today.

However, it’s not a DLC that appears directly in the menu. As with other game expansions, you need to complete certain steps within the game to activate it, which can generate doubts if you enter for the first time after the update.

How to start Terran Armada in Starfield step by step

To start the Terran Armada DLC, follow these steps:

1. Travel to Akila City

• Head to Akila City, one of the game’s main cities. This is where the content is activated.

2. Listen to the radio signal

• While exploring the city, you’ll receive a message about a new threat known as the Terran Armada. This alert triggers the mission.

3. Activate the mission

• Once you receive the signal, it will be automatically added to your log. Select the mission and mark it as primary.

4. Follow the objective

• From here, you’ll need to advance by following the markers until you reach a space station where the DLC’s main mission begins.

Recommendations before starting Terran Armada

• Recommended level: 50 (although you can try before)
• Prepare for challenging space combat
• Bring good equipment and upgrades for your ship

In addition, when you start this content, a new activity is unlocked:

• Invasions: battles against enemy-filled ships with valuable rewards

This DLC adds new situations and challenges, especially designed for those who have already spent several hours in Starfield, although you can also try it before if you want to get ahead of its content.
