How long is The Last of Us Part II?
According to HowLongToBeat, a single playthrough of The Last of Us Part II’s main story will take 24 hours to beat. However, if you want to tackle side content, such as unlocking various safes and nabbing collectibles, you’re more likely to spend up to 29-30 hours with the game.
Finally, a full completionist run of the game can take up to 42 hours and a half hours. This involves clearing the campaign and completing all the side content on offer including finding every single collectible.
