Persona 3 Reload length explained & how long does it take to beat?
If you're wondering how long it takes to beat Persona 3 Reload, we've got the details on its story length and how many hours you'll need for a completionist run.
Even before experiencing the length of Persona 3 Reload by playing it themselves, series fans have been curious as to how long it will take to beat the game.
Persona games are notorious for the many hours needed to roll credits on each title and the completion time on P3R is no exception.
How long is P3R's story?
You'll need at least 60 hours to beat Persona 3 Reload, but that length is only if you're speeding through the story and actively avoiding as much side content as possible.
However, if you're actively taking part in Social Links, taking on extra bosses in Tartarus, fusing Personas, raising your Social Stats, and other various side activities, you'll be looking at a P3R playthrough length of at least 70 to 75 hours.
Time to beat a Persona 3 Reload completionist run
For the completionists out there though, you'll be looking it at a playthrough of 100 hours at minimum to beat the game in its entirety - including filling up with Persona Compendium and everything you need to do to tick off all of P3R's trophies and achievements.
Whilst not as long as past games in the series like Persona 5 and its enhanced Royal version, P3R still follows that JRPG franchise trend of needing a massive time commitment to finish it. As mentioned in my Persona 3 Reload review, that investment is more than worth it.
