How Long Gears 5 Takes to Beat

Gears 5’s campaign took us around 10 hours to beat in total. This included some time exploring both the Valley and the desert in the Skiff, completing various side missions and searching for Relic Weapons. We also had the difficulty set to Intermediate, and played on our own.

The campaign allows for up to three player co-op, and having friends by your side will certainly help you cut through the Swarm forces even faster. However, by cranking up the difficulty, you can expect a tougher challenge, upping the time it takes to beat Gears 5.

While it took us about 10 hours to beat Gears 5 in our first playthrough, it’s certainly possible to spend more time in the campaign picking up all of the collectibles, grabbing all of Jack’s upgrades, and seeking out all of the side missions and Relic Weapons.

How Many Acts and Chapters Gears 5 Has

There are a total of four acts, each of which has between two and five chapters. There are 15 chapters in total to work your way through in the game, and these all vary in length, with some tasking you to complete an epic task, while others are more just focused on driving the narrative forward.

We’ve listed all of the game’s chapters within each of its acts down below:

Act 1 Chapters

  • Shot in the Dark
  • Diplomacy
  • This Is War
  • The Tide Turns

Act 2 Chapters

  • Recruitment Drive
