How long does it take to play Persona 5 Royal?

Persona 5 Royal takes about 102 hours to finish the main story, which makes it the longest single-playthrough game here — its "main story" is longer than most games' completionist runs. The structure is a fixed in-game calendar, so the length is largely authored rather than emergent: the story runs from April to February whatever the player does. That also means the gap between main story and completion is unusually narrow, about 23 hours, where most open-world games show gaps of a hundred or more.

What this assumes

Player-reported median. The fixed in-game calendar constrains the spread far more than in an open-world game.

Player-reported medians; completionist figures between 120 and 130 hours are published.
