If you want to know how much of a time-sink the viral co-op title will be for you and your friends, check out how long it takes to beat Chained Together and the fastest speedrun records set so far.

How long is Chained Together?

Chained Together supports local co-op too.

With a well-coordinated squad, you should be able to complete Chained Together in between 3-5 hours when just starting out. However, with enough experience, you can even try and aim for 2 hours or below.

According to HowLongToBeat, it will take around 4.5 to 6 hours to complete Chained Together. However, many players tend to reach the Summit in under 3 hours, so it generally depends on your team’s ability.

You might not be able to complete the run in your first playthrough, so keep building your strategy and gain experience. Experience and strategy are the most important aspects of completing the game, especially if playing solo.

Keep in mind that reaching the Summit in Lava mode will naturally be quicker because you’ll always have to be above the lava but the mode gives no room for making errors.
