Overwatch 2 Season 6 marks the debut of a handful of new Invasion PvE missions, finally giving fans the story content they’ve been requesting for years. But how long does it take to beat the Overwatch 2 Invasion missions? Here’s everything you need to know.

The Overwatch 2 Season 6 update was a huge content drop, bringing with it a reworked progression system, a new Support Hero, and even the new Flashpoint game mode. But arguably the biggest addition is the Invasion PvE missions.

These story chapters allow players to team up with their friends and fight back against the Null Sector uprising, discovering valuable lore tidbits about their favorite Heroes along the way.

Fans have been calling for more story content for some time, so how long does it take to beat the Overwatch 2 Invasion PvE missions now that they’re here? We’ve got everything you need to know.

How long to beat Overwatch 2 story missions?

Each Overwatch 2 Invasion story mission story takes around 20 to 30 minutes to complete. There are three different chapters to work through: Rio de Janeiro, Toronto, and Gothenburg, so it should take somewhere close to 90 minutes to beat the whole story.

Of course, the time to beat could vary depending on your skill level or the difficulty you choose. The Null Sector enemies on the hardest difficulty pose a real threat, so don’t be surprised if a few deaths slow down your progress.

Finishing each mission isn’t the end, however, as each playthrough comes with bonus XP and the chance to try out different combinations of Heroes. So, there’s plenty of room for replayability after you’ve beat Invasion for the first time.

It’s also been confirmed that the Invasion PvE missions will be updated over time to add new Hero rosters and even some extra objectives.
