How long will it take to complete GTA 6? Platinum Trophy and Mythical Achievement Time Explained

With GTA 6 scheduled to release on November 19, 2026, many fans are wondering how long it will take to complete all of the game’s trophies and achievements to get platinum or mythical achievements. Well, the story of GTA 6 is going to be long, and its achievements are even harder to obtain.

How long will it take to complete the GTA 6 campaign?

Obviously, it’s always somewhat difficult to predict exactly how long it will take to complete Grand Theft Auto 6, because people have different skill levels; However, based on what we’ve been able to gather from people who have actually played the game, it will take you around 50 hours to complete the campaign with almost 100 missions in total spread across five individual chapters.

Of course, each mission will vary in length and take different players more or less time depending on their individual skills, but 50 hours seems to be an average benchmark and consensus.

Rob Nelson, head of development and co-head of the studio at Rockstar Games, was interviewed by the New York Times, and here’s an interesting excerpt:

“I hope there will be people who want to get up, have a cup of coffee, shower, get dressed, go out and get a little exercise,” Nelson said. Its 80 hours of gameplay in February included the main story and a few optional objectives with narrative branching. Routines can quickly degenerate. “Interact with some people, explore, maybe you get in trouble,” he added. “Steal places, make money.”

How long will it take to get Platinum/Mythic in GTA 6?

This one is a bit harder to predict than campaign completion in GTA 6, as some achievements and trophies could be considered RNG based.

That said, from what we’ve gathered, it’ll probably take you around 200 hours in total to complete GTA 6; that’s more than double the time it takes to complete GTA 5. If you’re familiar with Red Dead Redemption 2, it’s probably a similar length, which was clocked in at 196 hours. But again, it depends on some RNG based stuff.

And yes, those 170 different wildlife species on the map? They will need to be scanned, like in Red Dead Redemption 2.
