This page reveals the Ghost of Tsushima Game Length, how long it takes to beat the story and get 100% completion.
Ghost of Tsushima Story Length:
- Story Length: 15 Hours. Beating the story took me a little under 15 hours playtime (including cutscenes). I played on easy difficulty without having bought any upgrades, only did the bare minimum and didn’t do any side tasks whatsoever (because I wanted to see if anything is missable for guide purposes – good news, nothing is missable). The bare minimum playtime for the story is 15 hours, but if you explore and do side quests it can go up to 50 hours. It’s worth noting that all cutscenes and dialogues are unskippable. Due to not having bought any upgrades or skills, the difficulty on easy was comparable to Normal with upgrades. After the story you can continue in free-roam to finish up side tasks and collections.
The Story consists of 25 Main Mission (Jin’s Journey Tales). There are 3 Acts, each Act starts in a new region. Act 1 and Act 2 were around 5 hours each. Act 3 was a bit shorter at about 3 hours.
Ghost of Tsushima Time to 100% & Platinum Trophy:
- Time to get the Platinum Trophy: Around 50 hours should be the average for most players. A few players may be able to pull it off in 40 hours, and some who are playing on hard may need 60 hours.
- Time to get 100% Completion: For Platinum you basically need 99% completion. Just a few Collectibles aren’t required but those can be obtained within 2-3 hours. So add another 2 hours to the platinum time and you get something around 52 hours average for 100% completion. Between 50-60 hours is realistic for the majority of players.

“For Platinum you basically need 99% completion”. We need ~235 collectables out of 433 for the Platinum, are the remaining 200 collectables really just 1% of the game? I mean, I know there’s fast travel, but 200 collectables in 2-3 hours?
PowerPyx says
Yeah you can get those in 2-3 hours (getting 1-2 per minute is a realistic pace). The wind guides you to them and you can use fast travel (which has very quick load times). By that point you’ll have all fast travel points unlocked, I got the extra collectibles in just about 3 hours and that’s without having picked up any during the story/liberations (where you already run into 70% of them more or less automatically so you’d already have most). It’s super quick. The controller even vibrates when you get close to them.
Unlike the trophy-related collectibles, the Artifacts/Records/Banners/Crickets are simple pickups. Not like Haiku where you need to make poems for a minute, or Bamboo Strikes where you need to press button combos. Following the 49 foxes from fox dens takes longer than getting all those quick collectibles combined.
The longest part for 100% is liberating all areas and doing all Tales (Quests), because there are so many of them and some are 30-40 minutes long.

LOL After i finished LOUII 15hours definitely too short…Wish there are more…Hope there are add on for story or somthing might be a plus…
PowerPyx says
Ghost of Tsushima pushes the free-roam aspect more. It wants you to go where the wind takes you, doing liberations and finding Collectibles & Side Quests as you go. Most people will combine their story run with some of those side tasks, so it will appear longer in total when you take all of it into consideration. Just the core story missions come out to 15 hours, but there’s a lot more to the game.
