How Long Does it Take to Beat Granblue Fantasy: Relink?
Last year, developers at Cygames revealed that it would take roughly 20 hours to beat the main game in Granblue Fantasy: Relink. This estimate seems to have panned out rather accurately since the long-awaited RPG’s release last week. According to HowLongToBeat — a site that tracks play times for main story playthroughs and more — those playing at a leisurely pace have completed the main events of the game in just about 16 hours. The average play time of those polled is a bit less at just over 13 hours.
How Long to Reach Completionist in Granblue Fantasy: Relink
While proven accurate, the aforementioned estimates don’t take into account the various play styles of those who have already started their Relink playthrough. If you’re one to take a game in stride, then you can surely expect to invest a day’s work, as proposed by the team at Cygames. However, completionists should tack on anywhere between a few extra hours to about double the time to account for additional time spent finishing up the post-game, collecting rare items, unlocking all difficulties, and more.
No matter your preferences, your Relink playthrough is certainly worth the time spent. It seems PS5 gamers are getting the most out of the console release, investing an average of almost 30 hours themselves.
