This guide covers how long it would take to beat Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Read on to see how many chapters there are in the game, how long it takes to clear the main story and how many hours are needed for 100 percent completion!
List of Contents
Playstyle | Clear Time |
---|---|
Skip All Cutscenes on Easy Difficulty | 25-30 hours |
Main Story Only | 40~50 hours |
100% Completion | 100~150+ hours |
100 Percent Completion | 200+ hours |
You can take about 20 hours to 30 hours to beat Xenoblade Chronicles 3 on the easiest difficulty if you skip all cutscenes and focus solely on the main story.
This is recommended for players who have already beaten the game and would like to challenge themselves by finishing it in the shortest time possible.
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 can take about 40-50 hours to beat for those who just want to focus on the main story.
There is a lot of ground to cover in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 aside from its main story. Exploring all the regions, taking on a couple of Standard Quests, Hero Quests, and gathering unlockables here and there will clock you in at over 100 hours.
Additionally, clear time could go as far as over 150 hours if you increase the game's difficulty.
If you plan to complete every side quest, unlock all collectibles, find all locations, and cover all the region maps, expect to play the game for at least 200 hours to complete all of them.
During the recent Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Direct, it was announced that there will be an Expansion Pass available for purchase at a later date.
With more content on its way, expect your clear time to change depending on your playstyle.
Expansion Pass DLC Price and Contents
There are a total of 7 chapters in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Each chapter takes about an average of 5 to 7 hours to complete, and depending if you take your time doing side quests for each colony or exploring the world of Ainios, it can take even longer before you can reach the next chapter.
Complete Story Walkthrough and Chapter Guide
Excluding the mini-conversations you have throughout the game, the length of Xenoblade Chronicles 3's main story cutscenes amount to a whopping 13 hours of screen time. This comes as no surprise as the latest title deals with a lot of character backstories and worldbuilding.
