How long can players expect it to take to play through Star Wars Jedi: Survivor? From a more casual playthrough focusing on the main storyline to a 100% run, here’s what you’re looking at in terms of overall game length.

When it came to Respawn’s first outing in the Star Wars universe, Fallen Order, playthroughs could vary a great deal. For those just looking to blitz through the core path, you’re likely looking at anywhere between 15-20 hours. But for those looking to tick all the boxes and find every single hidden goodie, that duration bumps up to around 30 hours in total.

So with its sequel, Survivor, now presenting a bigger, more expansive experience, just how long should fans expect an average playthrough to take? With more vast planets to explore, worlds teeming with life, and even a range of optional side content on offer, it’s a meatier package this time around.

Whether you’re looking to rush through the story and the story alone, or you’re eager to see and do everything possible, here’s what you can expect in terms of game length for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

How long is Star Wars Jedi: Survivor?

While individual mileage may vary, a typical playthrough of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor should take between 20-30 hours.

Obviously, it all depends on how much bonus content you get through on your way to the end credits. With dozens of collectibles to find, a plethora of legendary bosses to fight, new minigames to play, and even a gardening system to boot, there’s plenty on offer.

So with that in mind, if you’re a completionist looking to get everything done, you’re looking at anywhere upwards of 35-40+ hours to reach that 100% completion mark.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Director Stig Asmussen comments on the sequel’s length

Similar to his comments on New Game Plus during our exclusive interview, Stig was initially hesitant to divulge specifics on Survivor’s overall length before it hit store shelves. However, while we couldn’t get ballpark figures at the time, we did still gain some unique insight from the Director himself.

“I don’t want to get into the hours,” he started, “because honestly, it’s different for everybody. If you’re somebody that wants to 100% the game, we have tools and fast travel to make it easier.”

With plenty of optional content hidden on each planet, Survivor is certainly a longer game for completionists.

Given Survivor presents “a larger player space” than anything we saw in Fallen Order, these new tools are necessary to help “navigate it,” he explained. So while the game’s planets, like Koboh and Jedha, may be more expansive, and thus take longer to get through, new systems keep things balanced and help you get around much faster than before.

“But in regards to hours, it’s always a tough question,” Stig said, circling back. “People are going to approach it in different ways. Some people are going to get through it faster than others.”

So there you have it, straight from source. Although Respawn was hesitant to reveal a rough duration, as is common practice in the industry, we now know from our own playthrough that Survivor is a much bigger title than Fallen Order.
