# How long does it take to play Cyberpunk 2077?

**How long to play Cyberpunk 2077: about 26 hours for the main story**

main story; completionist runs are roughly 105 hours

Cyberpunk 2077's main story is about 26 hours, one of the shorter critical paths among big open-world games, with completion running to roughly 105. The game shipped in a state that prompted refunds and a removal from the PlayStation store, and was substantially rebuilt over three years — so a player finishing it today is playing a materially different game from one who finished it in 2020. The Phantom Liberty expansion adds around 20 hours.
