It takes around 84 hours to reach a 100% completion rate in GTA 5
It will take around 84 hours to fully explore and complete every main mission, side mission, task, and activity that GTA 5 offers. This is quite some time that you will need to dedicate to the game. It is also worth noting that this is an estimate, and depending on your skills and play style, it might take longer to reach the 100% checkpoint.
There are 69 main story missions divided between the protagonist trio. Note that the "actual" number of missions is slightly higher because some of the heists in the game are branched, and one path can be played in one playthrough.
Moreover, there are around 58 side missions (Strangers and Freaks) along with 61 hobbies and pass-times that you will need to do to reach a 100% completion rate in the game. These would have increased if Rockstar Games hadn't canceled the various single-player story mode DLCs for GTA 5.
According to the general public opinion, it takes around 32 hours on average to complete every single story mission. You will also need to dedicate around 54 hours if you try to do the side missions alongside it. The completionist run, however, will take around 84 hours.

Once you successfully reach this stage, you will unlock the Career Criminal trophy that showcases that you have spent a big chunk of your time exploring Los Santos and completing everything that the game asked. Not everybody manages to get this trophy in the game simply because some of the tasks are outright boring or too difficult.
