The time to beat Ghost of Yotei varies by playstyle and how much side content is pursued:
- Main story only: Approximately 20-30 hours. Focused runs can be as short as 20 hours, depending on difficulty and pacing.
- Main story plus some side quests and exploration: Around 35-40 to 40-50 hours for a balanced playthrough.
- Completionist run (100% completion with all collectibles and side content): Between 60-70 hours or more.
These estimates depend on player speed, difficulty level, and how much exploration or side activities like bounties and duels are done. The game has three main chapters, and players can tackle the Yotei Six members in any order, influencing the overall playtime.
