Open world games are best enjoyed at your own pace, but that often means that they can take a variable amount of time to complete. Such is the case with Star Wars Outlaws too, whose time to beat largely depends on how much you want to invest in the large amounts of side content besides the main story. There are many avenues of progression besides the central plot, so your mileage will vary compared to the next person. Still, there are a few averages that we can draw from to find out how long it takes to finish the game.
There is a lot of side content in the game, which will account for the bulk of your playtime. It easily triples the length to complete the game.
How much time it takes to finish Star Wars Outlaws
It will take different amounts of time to complete the game from just following the main quest, to completing all the side content, and anywhere in between.
| Completed game content | Time to beat |
|---|---|
| Main story with minimal side content | 20-25 hours |
| Main story + most of side content along the way | 35-40 hours |
| Main story + 100% completionist | 60-70+ hours |
