How Long to Beat Star Wars Jedi: Survivor? Full Breakdown

Plan on about 23 hours to finish the story of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, about 32.5 hours if you explore a good share of the optional areas, and about 64 hours for 100%, according to players on IGDB. That is much longer than the previous game, especially if you get pulled into the big open areas of Koboh.

Story only: about 23 hours

Developed by Respawn Entertainment and released in 2023, Jedi: Survivor brings back Cal Kestis and his droid BD-1 five years after Fallen Order, still hunted by the Empire. The game mixes demanding lightsaber combat, platforming and exploration. Following the story without detours, expect about 23 hours.

That can climb if you play on a high difficulty: some bosses take quite a few attempts.

With side content: about 32.5 hours

Survivor is far more open than its predecessor. Koboh, the main planet, hides caves, encounters, optional bosses and Force Tears, small challenge rooms. Doing a good chunk of those, players finish in about 32.5 hours. This is where the game is at its most enjoyable, and also the best way to make Cal stronger.

100%: about 64 hours

Completing everything takes about 64 hours. That means finding every chest, seed and hidden item, beating every challenge and filling in each planet's map. Many rewards are cosmetic, so 100% is mostly for people who love to search every corner.

What that means in evenings

At 2 hours a night, the story alone is about 11 to 12 evenings. With side content, plan for about 16 evenings. 100% takes about 32 evenings, more than two months if you play three times a week.

Tips

Try all five lightsaber stances and keep the ones that suit you, they change combat a lot. Use meditation points to rest and save, but remember enemies respawn. Do not try to explore everything early: some areas only open up with abilities you unlock later. If you enjoyed the challenge, see our soulslike picks.

Verdict

At about 23 hours for the story and about 32.5 hours if you enjoy the extras, Jedi: Survivor is a big Star Wars adventure without being endless. The sweet spot is following the story and doing whichever Koboh areas tempt you.
