According to How Long to Beat, a website that aggregates how long it takes people to beat games, the average playtime for someone going through Kingdom Hearts 3 for the first time is about 30 hours. Previous games land somewhere between the 20-25 hour mark typically, so it seems Kingdom Hearts 3 is slightly longer than its predecessors.
30 hours is much lower than the previously reported 40-50 hours of gameplay for the main story. Previous reports also indicated that Kingdom Hearts 3 would take around 80 hours to fully complete, but a more accurate estimate seems to be 40-60 hours, depending on if players use guides and things of that nature.
Besides the main story, Kingdom Hearts 3 has plenty of side content to keep players busy. There are multiple difficulty settings to try, plus extra quests to complete, like taking a picture of all the Lucky Emblems hidden throughout the various game worlds.
Players can also collect and play mini-games on their Gummiphone through the Classic Kingdom app. By opening their Gummiphone through the pause menu and selecting Classic Kingdom, Kingdom Hearts 3 players can try their hand at a variety of Game and Watch-style mini-games based on classic Disney cartoons. It won’t hold one’s attention for too long, but it’s still more content to experience in the game nevertheless.
So while Kingdom Hearts 3 may not be quite as long as some reported prior to launch, the game does still have plenty of content to keep fans busy for quite awhile.
Kingdom Hearts 3 is out now for PS4 and Xbox One.
