Overwatch 2’s PvE missions are here, changing the game! But how long does it take to conquer them? Dive into the new PvE experience in Overwatch 2, but be prepared for a different adventure than before. This guide explores the gameplay length and the shift in lore exploration compared to original promises.

Overwatch 2 PvE is touchy subject with scrapped plans and a lore twist. The arrival of PvE in Overwatch 2 was met with mixed feelings. Learn why skill trees were abandoned in the game and how the narrative unfolds through a unique redesign.

PvE now comes in the form of new missions, and if you’re diving into them you may be wondering exactly how long they are. So, here’s everything you need to know about the length of PvE story missions in Overwatch 2.

How long are Overwatch 2 PvE story missions?

Each Overwatch 2 PvE mission should take players on average about 20-30 minutes to complete.

Obviously, this is subjective and entirely dependent on the ability of the player(s) involved. However, in our experience, 20-30 minutes is an accurate summation of each mission’s length.

So, if you’re looking for a grand total for all three missions, especially when trying to justify the cost of the missions, then the first batch of Overwatch 2 PvE missions should take you in the region of an hour to an hour and a half to complete.

With rewards, XP, and other bonuses also in play here, replayability is a big focal point of the missions. So you should be able to get plenty of value from the story content.
