Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us 2 has finally arrived on PS4, and players are already diving headfirst into the next chapter of Ellie’s adventure. Have you found yourself wondering how long The Last of Us 2 takes to beat? Here’s what you need to know.
How Long The Last of Us 2 Takes to Beat
It took us around 25 hours to beat The Last of Us 2. During this time, we ventured off the beaten path, explored the open world segments of the game thoroughly, and picked up a fair few collectibles.
That being said, it was far from a completionist playthrough and doesn’t include us diving into the game’s New Game Plus mode.
For those looking to do a completionist run of The Last of Us 2, it will take about 29-33 hours to complete depending on your skill level and how swiftly you’re able to take care of Clickers and other human enemies you come across. This will also involve you playing through at least part of a New Game Plus run, as you’ll need to do this in order to get all the collectibles required to get the platinum trophy in the game.
Finally, for those looking to quickly make a beeline for the ending and are rushing through The Last of Us 2, you can probably finish the game in 20 hours.
Keep in mind that doing this would likely see you missing a ton of the quieter moments in the game, such as Ellie playing a guitar, or a conversation between your character and their companion. It’s these peaceful, beautiful moments amidst all the chaos and violence of the world they find themselves in that really makes The Last of Us 2 feel so special.
