The original Stalker game featured a main story that took about 15 hours to finish, so you might anticipate the sequel to have a similar length. However, since that first game was released 17 years ago, the gaming landscape has shifted significantly. Nowadays, it’s common for games to be longer, especially for players who aim to complete everything the game offers.

Given the trend of games introducing more collectibles, side quests, and larger open worlds, it’s no surprise that Stalker 2 is longer than its predecessor. Below is a detailed overview of how long the game is, based on data from HowLongToBeat.
How Long Does It Take To Complete The Main Story?
If you focus solely on the main storyline of Stalker 2 and avoid distractions, the game should take roughly 29 hours to finish. That said, this is an open-world game packed with numerous side quests and opportunities for exploration.
On average, players tend to spend more than 29 hours completing the game. According to the data from HowLongToBeat, a playthrough that includes the main story and some extras takes about 43.5 hours.
How Long Does It Take To Achieve 100% Completion?
Completing the game to 100% naturally takes significantly longer than simply finishing the main story. This entails thoroughly searching the expansive map to uncover every detail.
You’ll need to track down all the artifacts, hidden stashes, unique weapons, and special gear. Additionally, completing all main and side missions, as well as unlocking every achievement, will require about 64 hours, according to HowLongToBeat.
It’s worth noting that HowLongToBeat has limited data for 100% completion runs, so the 64-hour estimate might not be completely accurate.
