Official main-story estimate
Remedy states that the main story takes anywhere from 25 to 35 hours to complete, with additional playtime available for completionists.
Why individual playtimes vary
- What activities can extend a playthrough?
- World Quests, combat encounters, environmental challenges, hidden discoveries, Altered Items, and other optional activities can add time beyond the main story.
- Is 25 to 35 hours a guaranteed completion time?
- No. It is the stated main-story range, while completionist content adds more and exploration is designed to proceed on the player's terms rather than as a requirement to clear the map.
- Can I track main-story progress?
- On PlayStation 5, Activities can track main-story quest progress, and Game Help is listed as available after launch.
