How Long Does It Take To Beat The Outer Worlds? - TheGamer

The Outer Worlds is a compelling and entertaining RPG with an engaging story. Fans often compare the game to the Fallout series due to their similarities in style and gameplay - Fallout New Vegas even shares a developer with The Outer Worlds. However, Obsidian's recent title is quite a bit smaller than the likes of Fallout 3 and New Vegas.

The colorful RPG won't take up over 100 hours of your time like many others in the genre. Yet, the title still includes plenty of settlements to visit, achievements or trophies to earn, and side quests to do. So, exactly how long is the game?

How Long Does It Take To Beat The Outer Worlds?

Completing The Main Story

If you don't care about all of the side content that The Outer Worlds has to offer, then you can beat the story in about 13 hours. Yet, you will most likely get sidetracked occasionally.

Perhaps, you'll seek out a certain weapon or complete a few of the best companion quests. So, if you do some extra things while playing the main story, your playthrough will probably be around 25 hours long.

Full Completionist Run

The Outer Worlds has enough content to make a full completion run seem significantly longer than just playing the story, but not enough for things to grow tiresome.

The average completionist will take about 37 hours to do everything. Yet, if you like to take your time, you may need to set aside up to 70 hours.

How Long Does It Take To Beat The DLCs?

Obsidian has added two significant expansions to the game so far. They include new weapons, locations, and an increased level cap. Plus, both DLCs offer standalone narratives. Here is the length of them:

• Peril On Gorgon - During this DLC, the crew of the Unreliable travel to a mysterious place called Gorgon and begin an investigation. The main story of the expansion lasts about 4 hours. But if you want to experience everything Peril On Gorgon has in store, then you're in for around a 15-hour playthrough.
• Murder On Eridanos - As the title suggests, in this one, there is a murder on Eridanos and the protagonist has to find out what happened. You can beat the main narrative in 5 hours or so. To fully complete everything, though, it takes about 13 hours.
