Elden Ring takes about 30 to 60 hours to beat the main story depending on the player's experience and playstyle. For players focusing strictly on the main objectives, the game is around 30 to 50-60 hours long. For more thorough players who explore side quests and optional content, the time can extend to 70 hours or more. Completionists who aim to do everything, including all side quests and collecting rewards, can spend around 100 to 135 hours or even more in the game. Also, skilled players familiar with the game may finish the main story in under 20 hours, while newcomers often take considerably longer.
