How long is Star Wars Outlaws when you play it all the way through? We’ve got the answer, because we’ve done it. And, we can also tell you exactly how many hours you’ll need, however you want to play it. Open-world games can take a while. There’s hours you can spend exploring, completing side quests, and chasing completionism - and we’re not even talking about the main storyline.

If you're curious to know how much time you’ll need, we've listed all potential Star Wars Outlaws lengths below, including the length of the main story campaign, a playthrough dabbling in the side content, and even the play time for those who are out to reach 100% completion.

Having played Star Wars Outlaws here's how long it takes to beat it, with different lengths depending on the kind of playthrough you're planning: 

  • 18 hours for story campaign and essential missions alone
  • 25 hours for a standard playthrough with story + some side content
  • 40 hours for 100% completion of all content

Obviously these are estimates that will vary depending on your skill, familiarity with the game, and what kind of difficulty you want to play Kay Vess's story on. That said, the big factor is how much side content you want to experience in Star Wars Outlaws. As I mentioned, Ubisoft sandboxes have a reputation for being stuffed with optional content, and Outlaws is no exception. It's also a game that's has got some challenge to it and might be a little harder than some people expect, so while doing side content isn't exactly mandatory, side quests like unlocking all the Star Wars Outlaws Experts and Abilities are going to help you progress and smooth out the experience of the main story.

Check out our Star Wars Outlaws review to get a deep dive of what we thought of the game overall.
