God of War Ragnarok is the most expansive in the series yet, running much longer than the games that came previously. You might need a primer on the exact length to expect based on your playstyle, and how it compares to its previous entry.

How long is God of War Ragnarok?

God of War Ragnarok will take you around 20 hours if you're only planning on speedrunning through the main story.

On what's determined as a "normal playthrough", played on "Give Me Balance" difficulty, completing most of the larger sidequests across most regions, God of War Ragnarok will take you around 30 hours

Now, for the completionists out there. It turns out that along with some side quests or collectables you might have missed before reaching the credits, there's some additional content that unlocks after beating the story - taking around 37 hours of playtime

Finally, for the 100% completionists, your playtime will be padded further if you're planning to see through absolutely everything God of War Ragnarok has to offer. Hunting for every single collectable, thwarting every endgame boss, and ticking off all of the combat challenges comes with an estimated playthrough of up to 45 hours altogether.

Although, depending on your own ability, whether you're using guides, and if you're playing on a higher or lower diffculty, these various playthrough styles may take even longer.

Comparatively, when looking at God of War (2018)'s stats on How Long To Beat, Ragnarok looks to take around the same number of hours for each style of playthrough.

However, it is encouraged to take on as many of the sequel's side quests as possible - since they add a much richer experience overall - so it's best to have a lot of extra time if you want your first playthrough of God of War Ragnarok to be as fulfilling as possible.
