Leak says GTA 6 story takes 50 hours to complete and PS5 platinum trophy 200 hours

Insider Gaming has learned through GTA 6 review leaks how long Rockstar’s latest project takes to beat. Without side activities or optional missions, gamers can reportedly finish Jason and Lucia’s story in 50 hours. However, PS5 players will need to spend much more time exploring Leonida to secure the platinum trophy.

Tom Henderson’s estimate is based on impressions from media members evaluating it before the GTA 6 release date. He also said the title has 100 missions unfolding over five campaign chapters.

Will the campaign be a letdown?

A 50-hour story length may seem short compared to what was previously discussed. In a New York Times interview, Rockstar North co-lead Rob Nelson explained his playthrough lasted around 80 hours. Still, that consisted of optional quests in a vast open world where it’s easy to get distracted.

The map of Vice City and surrounding areas is significantly larger than in GTA 5 or Red Dead Redemption 2. While Grand Theft Auto 5 offered 32 hours of single-player action, RDR 2 required a similar 50-hour mark. The ability to traverse regions in powerful supercars rather than horses could be a factor.

PSN trophies and Xbox achievements

The new GTA 6 review leak expands on a prior report about PS5 trophies and Xbox achievements. To acquire the coveted PlayStation platinum trophy, gamers should set aside approximately 200 hours. Henderson hints that a rare Xbox mythic achievement will be available.

An earlier datamine discovered 55 PS5 trophies, including the platinum. Meanwhile, if there is a mythic, Xbox console owners can anticipate the same total. Insider Gaming also revealed trophy hunters will need to be nature lovers. Similar to Red Dead Redemption 2, players must locate and photograph 170 different animals across the Leonida map.

Notably, all objectives on the GTA 6 release date are single-player or story-oriented. It’s unclear when a sequel to GTA Online may emerge, but the launch build contains code related to multiplayer modes.
