ANALYSIS

Projections based on script leaks and RDR2 structure.

Don't expect a 100-hour bloat-fest. Reports suggest Rockstar is aiming for a tighter, high-quality narrative structure similar to GTA V, rather than the slow burn of Red Dead Redemption 2.

Playtime Estimates

  • Main Story: 35 - 45 Hours.
  • Story + Side Content: 75+ Hours.
  • Completionist (100%): 100+ Hours.

The leaked developer logs indicate a "Chapter" system. However, the sheer density of random world events in Vice City will likely distract you from the main path constantly.
