Here’s how long it’ll take different types of players to beat Hogwarts Legacy, including the main story’s length, and the time required for a completionist run.

How long does it take to beat Hogwarts Legacy?

Hogwarts Legacy’s main campaign takes around 26.5 hours to complete but it can easily take up to 67.5 hours if you are a completionist who wants to cover 100% of the game. To cover every bit of the game, you need to tick off every sidequest and collectible along with the main story quests.

Hogwarts Legacy has plenty of optional objectives, such as dueling feats, House-specific quests, secret dungeons to complete, and bosses to fight.

The length of Hogwarts Legacy also varies depending on the difficulty you choose at the start and how quickly you master its deep combat system. It depends on individual skill and how much you want to cover in-game.

Those looking to breeze through on the easiest setting will likely reach the finish line much sooner than anyone looking to challenge themselves on the hardest difficulty.

Ultimately, the number of hours you get from Hogwarts Legacy rests on how you choose to play. If you’re here for the story, then you could easily be in and out after a few days of gameplay, whereas completionists have to invest much more time to reach 100%.
