How long will it take to beat Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty?

To beat Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty, you will require around 15 to 20 hours. However, that is only if you are concentrating on completing the story alone. The main narrative is quite lengthy, with many subsidiary quests to complete. Based on the difficulty you are playing, it can also take more than 20 hours.

However, if you are a completionist and looking to finish every single side Gig, Cyberpsycho missions, as well as car stealing quests, then Phantom Liberty will take you between 30 to 40 hours to complete.

There is indeed a lot in terms of playable content in the expansion, and with the version 2.0 update, many in the community could take things slow in what feels like one of the biggest comebacks in video game history.
