The highly anticipated Overwatch 2 PvE missions have finally made their debut, introducing a fresh and unique dynamic to the game. However, the burning question on players' minds is: how much time does it take to conquer these missions?

The topic of PvE has sparked some debate within the Overwatch 2 community. Initial expectations, like Skill Trees, were abandoned, and the game's lore has taken an entirely new direction with a comprehensive redesign.

The PvE experience now manifests through a series of new missions. The release of the first three missions arrived alongside Overwatch 2 Season 6’s Invasion content, prompting players to dive right into them, despite some objections and calls for boycotts. Amidst all this, the mission durations have been a topic of curiosity and discussion.

How Long Are Overwatch 2 PvE Story Missions? On average, each Overwatch 2 PvE mission should take players approximately 20-30 minutes to complete.

Of course, this timing is subjective and heavily reliant on the skills of the player or players involved. However, based on our experiences, a 20-30 minute estimate accurately reflects the length of each mission.

So, if you're seeking a total playtime for all three missions, especially when assessing the worth of these missions, you can expect the initial set of Overwatch 2 PvE missions to occupy roughly an hour to an hour and a half of gameplay.

The inclusion of rewards, XP, and other bonuses adds to the replayability factor, making the story content a significant highlight of these missions. Therefore, you should be able to derive substantial value from the PvE content.
