Key Points
- A common bug in Starfield can prevent the SSNN broadcast from triggering during the Terran Armada mission.

Starfield is finally out on PS5, but it also contains some bugs. One major bug that I faced was while completing the Listen To The SSNN Broadcast quest for the Attack of the Terran Armada mission. Read on below to learn how to fix it.
How To Start The SSNN Broadcast in Starfield
When players reach the SSNN Broadcast Tower to listen to the broadcast, it does not play, leaving many players confused. This, however, is a bug that you can fix with a few easy steps.
To fix the bug that is not letting the SSNN Broadcast play, all you need to do is leave the planet. So get on your spaceship and exit the planet until you are in the outer space zone. Do not travel too far away, as you need to return to the planet to complete the quest.
A safe distance to travel will be until you can see the whole planet on your screen from outer space. Next, return to Akila City. This time, when you reach the SSNN Broadcast Tower, you will hear the warning of the imminent Terran Armada attack. By listening to this broadcast, you will successfully complete your quest.
The Terran Armada is the latest expansion to get added to Starfield, as Bethesda preps up for the Starfield PS5 launch with a slew of planned additions to the game, which has already seen a fair amount of work since its launch.
FAQs
Why is the SSNN broadcast not playing in Starfield?
This usually happens due to a quest trigger bug where the broadcast event fails to activate when you arrive at the tower.
Is the SSNN broadcast bug platform-specific to PS5?
The issue has been reported across multiple platforms, suggesting it’s a general game bug rather than platform-specific.
Does reloading a save fix the SSNN broadcast issue?
In some cases, reloading helps, but leaving the planet and returning is the more consistent and easier workaround.
