Digimon Story: Time Stranger marks the long-awaited return of the Digimon Story series, arriving 10 years after Cyber Sleuth. As the latest entry in the franchise, fans are eager to dive in, tame their favorite Digimon, and climb the Digivolution ladder toward Mega forms. But just how long does it take to beat Time Stranger—and what kind of time investment should you expect?

How long does it take to Beat Digimon Story: Time Stranger?

Like many turn-based monster-taming RPGs, the answer depends largely on your playstyle. Are you the type to rush through the main story? Do you prefer focusing on a few specific Digimon? Or are you aiming for 100% completion? Here’s a breakdown:

Main Story Only – If you stick to the central storyline, skip side content, and don’t chase after specific Digimon, you’re looking at around 40 hours to reach the end.
Main Story + Some Side Content – Realistically, most players will take on at least a few side quests and hunt down a favorite Digimon or two. In that case, expect closer to 50 hours of gameplay.
Completionist Run – If you’re determined to collect every Digimon, complete all side quests, and even finish the in-game TCG card collection, prepare for 65+ hours in the Digital World.

What’s the Average Playtime?

For most players, the sweet spot lands somewhere in between—around 50–55 hours to complete the story while enjoying a healthy dose of side content along the way.

So whether you’re in it for the long haul or just want to experience the story, Time Stranger offers plenty of adventure. Good luck out there in the Digital World!
