Players can expect to clear the main story and do some side quests in Baldur’s Gate 3 in just under 75 hours, going by what users have tracked on useful video game website HowLongToBeat.

If you’re rushing through just the main story alone, however, it can even go as low as 40 hours. A completionist run reportedly takes you into the 100-hour mark.

Such a storyline is extremely large, with most games coming at half of this, and even then that’s considered relatively long, especially when it takes up to 50 hours to complete the main story, without exploring any side quests or regions.
