How Long Is Star Wars Jedi: Survivor?
Based on the pre-release speculations, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is 25 to 30 hours long, which means it could take up to 50 hours (or more) to get 100% completion. The current assumptions about the game’s playtime are based on the developers’ comments suggesting that Survivor’s campaign is more extensive than Fallen Order’s.

The story of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor takes place in 9 BBV (Before the Battle of Yavin).

As a narrative-orientated single-player game, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has no multiplayer. This is unsurprising because, gameplay-wise, Survivor follows in its prequel’s footsteps. And since Fallen Order had no multiplayer function, players were not expecting to get it in the 2023 sequel.
