The average time to beat Dragon's Dogma 2 varies depending on the type of playthrough:
- Focusing solely on the main story takes roughly 30 to 35 hours.
- Completing the main story with some side quests may take around 40 to 50 hours.
- A completionist run aiming for 100% completion can take 90 to over 110 hours due to the extensive side content, dungeons, collectibles, and achievements.
Different sources report similar estimates, with some IGN team members finishing the main story in under 24 hours by focusing mainly on the core quests, while completionists can spend well over 90 hours exploring every aspect of the game. The world is large, and limited fast travel means exploration on foot contributes to longer playtimes. Overall, players can expect their playtime to range significantly based on how much content they pursue outside the main campaign.
