Ghost of Tsushima, the early PS4 exclusive to Sucker Punch, is finally available. The open-world stealth action game launched on July 17 and, according to Sucker Punch, is the studio’s biggest title to date. But how does that translate into playtime? How long does it take to get through the main story and how long will you spend completing the other activities in the big game world?
How many acts in Ghost Of Tsushima?
Ghost of Tsushima is divided into three acts, Act I, Act II, and Act III. How long it takes to complete each section depends on your specific focus, but you can use our estimates below to get a general idea of how many hours it takes for the entire game to complete.
How long to beat Tsushima’s ghost
According to our playing time, It can take approximately 20 hours to complete Ghost of Tsushima if you are strictly focusing on clearing the main story. Completists can add a few more hours to that runtime as the game also features a series of side quests to complete and collectibles to find. These will not only appear on your map of the underworld; you’ll have to use the winds to locate them, and this can add several more hours of playtime. But don’t feel like you need 100% Ghost of Tsushima.
Of course, your mileage may vary, and your own personal style of play will likely affect how long it takes you to win the game. Protagonist Jin Sakai can face enemies head-on as an honorable samurai or become the “Ghost” and employ stealthier and more methodical tactics, which will naturally take you a little longer to dispatch opponents. Sometimes you’ll also want to stop focusing on the main quest and improve Jin’s attributes, which can add a few more hours to your playtime.

Now that the game is out, the Ghost of Tsushima review embargo has been lifted, and critical opinions about it are already popping up online. GameSpot gave the title a 7/10 in our Ghost of Tsushima review and said, “Ghost of Tsushima is at his best when he rides his horse and gazes at the beautiful world on his own terms, armed with a sword and a catch of button display, allowing environmental cues and your own curiosity to guide you. It’s not a Criterion classic, but it often seems. “
