The long-awaited sequel to Obsidian’s popular open-world sci-fi RPG is finally here. The Outer Worlds 2 takes you on an epic, action-packed adventure that’ll have you explore a new colony and become a commander of a motley crew of companions.
As a sequel, you can expect this game to give you a similar experience to the first one released in 2020. But in terms of length, how much time will you be putting into The Outer Worlds 2? We’ll answer that question here so you can know how long it’ll take you to beat The Outer Worlds 2 during both a typical and a completionist playthrough.
How long does it take to beat The Outer Worlds 2?
The Outer Worlds 2 should take most players around 25-35 hours to finish. This includes following the golden path of the main storyline and ignoring most side missions. For players who want to complete the game in its entirety, however, it can take up to 50 hours to see things through.
Like any open-world RPG, there’s a lot of additional content for you to play around with that strays from the main campaign. The Outer Worlds 2 encourages you to take your time by tackling side quests, meeting NPCs, and fighting any enemy that crosses your path.
Comparatively, the first Outer Worlds game was slightly shorter, taking only around 13-17 hours to finish the main story and around 25-30 hours to beat the entire game. If you’re someone who adores Obsidian’s RPGs and doesn’t mind a longer game, this sequel shouldn’t be an issue to finish.
