Baldur’s Gate 3 is one of the biggest RPGs we’ve ever seen in terms of the sheer amount of content there is to discover. The game’s deep world is covered with things to do, and you’ll be forever stumbling across diversions and distractions as your progress through the game’s main quest.

While the early access version of Baldur’s Gate 3 took roughly 30 hours to beat, the official release version has significantly more stuff to keep you busy.

According to developers, Larian Studios, Baldur’s Gate 3’s main story will take between 75 - 100 hours to complete, but of course, that’s far from all the content there is to see. If you’re driven to see every inch of the world and do everything there is to do in this massive game – including multiple playthroughs to see alternate story paths, there is easily upwards of 200 hours of gameplay.
