The time to beat God of War Ragnarok varies based on playstyle and completion level:
- Just the main story: about 25-30 hours
- Standard playthrough with some side quests: around 30-35 hours
- 100% completion including all side content and collectibles: approximately 55-60 hours or more
This range reflects the game's broad content and open nature, where exploring all quests, collectibles, and extra content significantly increases playtime beyond the main story. Post-story content and challenges are also available, adding to gameplay after finishing the main narrative.
