The Longest Games On The PS5

The PlayStation 5 is home to all sorts of games you can spend loads of time on. With game prices starting to rise more frequently, you probably want to get the most out of your money. That means the amount of content a game can offer might be a decider on whether a game is purchased now or purchased on sale later on.

Between RPGs, Action Games, and more, loads of longer titles are already available for you to tackle on PlayStation 5. We’ve ranked the longest PlayStation 5 games currently available, ranging from 40 hours to even well over 100 hours.

All the times shown below have been gathered from the data on HowLongToBeat.

Updated on December 25, 2024, by Rebecca Phillips: Games just seem to be getting longer and longer, with RPGs being the biggest culprit. Too much of a good thing can be a detriment sometimes, but a lot of these games merit their long runtime and are worth playing, even if you’ll end up sinking tens or even hundreds of hours into them. We’ve added a couple more long games that you can play on PS5.

Metaphor: ReFantazio takes Persona’s tried-and-true formula and uses it to create an exciting fantasy world. When the king is assassinated and tyrant Count Louis aims to take the throne, you and your party must do everything you can to stop him and take the throne for yourself.

Just beating the main story of Metaphor: ReFantazio will take you 65 hours, but there’s plenty of side content, from optional dungeons and getting to know your followers, to keep you occupied for another 30 or so hours on top of that.

There are many areas to explore around Krat throughout each chapter that bring with them tons of difficult and grotesque bosses and puppet creatures.

Although the above chart shows the average length of completion, the main story can take a whole lot longer to get through, as you can get easily stuck on the first boss, Parade Master, or even the miniboss before him when getting out of Krat Central Station.

Final Fantasy 16

The Final Fantasy games tend to be on the longer side, and since Final Fantasy 16 is a medieval fantasy epic inspired by George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice And Fire (Game of Thrones series), you bet FF16 will be quite the long cinematic adventure to get through. Getting everything will take you around 80 hours!

Final Fantasy 16 sees the journey of Clive Rosfield, the older brother of Joshua Rosfield, who got separated at a young age due to a heinous betrayal that resulted in the slaying of their father, and the Eikon fantasy elements prevalent throughout. There’s lots of compelling story content in addition to open-world exploration, stylistic boss fights, and exemplary character development.

Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition

While the main singleplayer campaign of Cyberpunk 2077 isn’t that long, you now have the Ultimate Edition, which comes with the Phantom Liberty DLC expansion and all the latest features from updates 2.0 and 2.1. V’s journey in Night City now has an expansive new runtime, and the characters, stories, and side quests won’t have you putting it down anytime soon.

Cyberpunk 2077 comes from the developers of The Witcher games, CD Projekt Red, and it takes an FPS RPG branching dialogue structure to set it against a dystopian cyberpunk world that combines elements of Blade Runner, GTA, and the antagonistic corporations of the Borderlands series.

Add in all the DLCs like The Seige of Paris, Wrath of the Druids, Dawn of Ragnarok, and A Fated Encounter, and you’re looking at well over 90 hours of story content.

Valhalla is one of the most gorgeous and scenic AC titles in the series, its setting taking you to 9th century Anglo-Saxon, pre-unified England when it was split up into Seven Kingdoms and invaded by Vikings. This extremely long length is also one that divided fans, given the overly drawn-out story and RPG grind.

2

Baldur’s Gate 3

Not only is Baldur’s Gate 3 one of the longest games on the PS5, but also probably one of the longest games ever created! Even when you’ve put over a hundred hours into it, you can always challenge yourself with a new Honour Mode run, a Darke Urge playthrough, or keep trying out new games with different Origin characters to see what changes.

With so many side quests in each Act of the game alone and the sheer number of NPCs there are to interact with, which can affect the story in ways you might not even consider, completing all three Acts might put you over 100 hours already! There’s seemingly endless fantasy fun to be had in Baldur’s Gate 3!
