How long will it take you to beat Ghost of Yotei? Sucker Punch’s follow-up to Ghost of Tsushima lands on the bulkier side, though not quite as long in the tooth as even broader open-world time-guzzlers, such as The Witcher 3 or Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.
Below, you’ll find our estimates for how long it will take to beat Ghost of Yotei depending on different playstyles and ambitions. These are based on my own playthrough, which totaled around 60 hours. However, that did include idle time for note-taking and screenshots, so it isn’t representative of what most players will experience.
How long is Ghost of Yotei
Ghost of Yotei will take most players roughly between 30 and 35 hours to beat. That estimate assumes you stick to the main story, complete some side quests, find a few collectibles, climb a few shrines, complete a few bounties, engage in some light exploration, and aren’t playing on the highest difficulty setting. Your mileage with naturally vary depending on your familiarity with open-world games, but we can’t see casual players sinking anything more than 40 hours in Ghost of Yotei.
For completionists wondering how long it will take to beat Ghost of Yotei, you’re looking at anywhere from 50 to 60 hours to hit the credits. This includes completing every side quest and activity, finding every armor set, weapon, skin, charm, and mask, taking down every bounty target, unlocking every achievement to secure that coveted platinum trophy, and exploring every nook and cranny of the six major regions that make up the game.
The timesink here is the optional content, namely activities like Sumi-e painting spots, Wolf Dens, Fox Dens, Bamboo Strike locations, Hot Springs, Altars of Reflection, Shrines, and finding all 30 Ainu items (optional collectibles that tend to be hidden away in parts of the map the main story doesn’t take you through) scattered across Ezo. If you plan on upgrading all weapons and armor, there’s also something of a money and resource grind involved in beating Ghost of Yotei, which can add a few hours to your playthrough.
