How long is Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order? The latest Star Wars video game is a single-player experience, boasting its own story, characters, and, obviously, light saber duels. It goes without saying that Star Wars is an immensely popular franchise and its influence stretches far beyond the realm of hardcore gaming. As such, you may be wondering whether you'll be able to beat Star Wars Jedi over the course of a weekend, or smash through it in just a handful of sittings. In this guide, we'll break down the game's structure and provide estimates on how long it'll take to complete depending on the kind of player that you are.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - How long is it?
Star Wars Jedi takes place across multiple different planets, but it's important to note that these planets are not open world. That said, the locations on these planets aren't strictly linear, either. The environments in Fallen Order may seem straightforward at first glance, but there are a lot of secrets to find, and you can return to previous areas later in the game in order to open up parts of the map that were not accessible when you first visited.
The structure of the game is a bit like God of War (2018), and perhaps a little similar to something like Dark Souls. You can, of course, sprint from one end of the map to the other and focus on nothing but the story if you really want to, but you'll be missing out on a lot of secrets and opportunities to make main character Cal more powerful.
Before we move on, it's also worth mentioning that Star Wars Jedi can be quite a difficult game. Even on the standard difficulty setting (Jedi Knight), certain fights can be especially tricky, and there's quite a lot to learn when it comes to combat. As such, playing on harder difficulties may extend your playtime by a significant amount. Conversely, if you're only really interested in the story, playing on the game's easiest difficulty setting will likely shave off a lot of time.
Star Wars Jedi length
Below, you'll find estimates for how long it takes to complete Star Wars Jedi depending on how much of the game you want to see.
- Complete playthrough (finish story, find all secrets, unlock as many skills as possible): 30+ hours
Star Wars Jedi is not an especially short game to begin with, but if you want to see and do everything that it has to offer, then you could be looking at a playtime of up to and over 30 hours. - Mostly complete playthrough (finish story, attempt most side content): Around 20-25 hours
If you're looking to complete the story and see most of what Star Wars Jedi has to offer, you're probably looking at 20-25 hours or thereabouts. Most players are likely going to end up in this range. - Story only playthrough (concentrate only on completing the story): Around 10-15 hours
By focusing solely on the story, you can probably finish Star Wars Jedi in 10 hours or so, but you'd have to rush it. As such, most story-focused players are probably going to take a little longer to cross the finish line at around 15 hours.

I have only played for 2 hrs. But already looking around every corner to make sure I do not miss anything before moving to the next plot point.
Also to make sure the game last as long as possible! (always a good sign for me)
Even played the opening sequence twice 😅
30 plus hours doing everything cool.i knew this game was gonna be really great.first star wars game that i am excited for.word up son
@playstation1995 I’m the same man! So glad this is getting good reviews as well!
Seems very interesting. I hope the game would take cues from platinum games and kingdom hearts since it has a lot of fantasy elements so it would be a waste if they made the combat slow and heavy and realistic and grounded in reality and movie-like instead of making the moves exaggerated and cool and gamey. But to be fair, god of war 4 had cool combat so I won’t mind too much of that gets copied and pasted despite the combat in god of war 4 being shallow (it’s good but it’s still shallow and lacking in depth)
There goes the 10 hour trial 10-15 hours then, abit ironic.
@Agramonte so what do you reckon, is it good??? Excited but always a little scared with Starwars games 😁
Thanks Robert, I really appreciate this article. I’d like these types of summaries for the big new games.
And I think the run time for this game looks to be just about right. I usually start to struggle a little if a game goes over 40 hours. 20-30 hours is typically a really nice sweet spot, depending on the game.
@Deljo 6 hrs in. This one is a winner so far.
@Agramonte you playing on PS4 or PS4 Pro? I have a vanilla PS4 and haven't seen no frame rate tests yet. Holding off buying until then.
@longy81 I have it on both Launch unit PS4 (2013) and PC (got it as a surprise gift)... performance does strange dips randomly (on both)
I had a battle with 5 storm troopers at the base of the mountain and everything is fine. I do a platform sequence half way up and just landing on the other side and running up (not a soul in sight) it chugs for a bit.
Once exploring inside the Jedi temple (solving puzzles/combat) the entire time it runs like butter 🤷♂️ They nailed look&feel of SW in this game... so the hick-ups ok with me. But they there.
I need to upgrade, but a PRO makes no sense at this point. I'll Just wait till PS5.
@hoffa007 I’m confused... how is game length ironic?
@doctommaso in the article it says can be done 10-15 and ea wont want to give a game away on trial if you could pretty much do most of the story in 10 hours, the amount of money they lose. It's just a view on it anyway up to you how you see it.
@hoffa007 Oh, I wasn’t aware of a ten hour trial.
