Genshin Impact is an action-adventure RPG that takes place in the world of Teyvat. You'll play as Traveler, a twin in search of their lost sibling. During your search, you'll become part of a much wider story involving a range of characters wielding different elements, known as visions, interacting with gods, and seeking answers to questions you didn't even know you had.
You can expect to find several different types of quests and storylines along the way and all require different time commitments. We take a look at how long it takes to beat Genshin Impact.
How Long Does It Take To Beat Genshin Impact's Archon Quests?
Genshin Impact has a main storyline and the tasks within it are known as the Archon Quests. These quests form the main narrative for Traveler's adventure and are also used to unlock new areas and domains as well as introduce new characters. Everything else in the game hinges on this quest chain, so those wishing to unlock everything as quickly as possible should focus on these quests.
According to How Long To Beat the main story of Genshin Impact currently takes around 47 hours to beat.
The split shown on the website suggests that Mondstadt's quests take around 17 hours to complete with Liyue's Archon quests coming in at 20 hours. While the Inazuma quests aren't detailed separately, allowing ten hours to complete those released so far feels about right, based on our experience.

How Long Does It Take To Beat The Extra Quests In Genshin Impact?
It's always difficult to tell what people consider "extras" when looking at statistics but based on the timings given and our experience we are going to assume that Main + Extras is completing the following:
- All Archon Quests
- All Character Story Quests
- All One-Off World Quests
The statistics given for this suggest it takes around 97.5 hours to complete Genshin Impact plus extras.
This is actually one of the most difficult statistics to measure because how long it takes to complete the world quests in particular will depend on several factors. As you journey through the world you'll acquire experience which enables you to level up your adventure rank. This rank is linked to the maximum level of your characters and the level of the enemies in the world. The level of your characters compared to the enemies you face can make a huge difference in terms of how long it takes to defeat certain quests.
It's not just the level of characters that makes a difference either. Party composition, talent level, artifacts, and weapons all make a huge difference in how much damage you can do. Those who get lucky with gacha pulls and drops can gain a huge advantage that can vastly reduce the difficulty of quests, as well as that of domains.
How Long Does It Take To Completely Beat Genshin Impact?
This is a question that arguably has no answer since there's always something to do in Genshin Impact. However, there is a figure for completionists, and we are going to assume this includes all of the tasks in main plus extras as well as:
- Completing each domain once
- Fighting each world boss once
- Fighting each weekly boss once
- Completing all the hangout events
The completionist figure given currently stands at 153 hours.
Can You Beat Genshin Impact?
It can be argued that Genshin Impact is actually an unbeatable game. This is because every day you'll find new daily commissions and regenerate enough resin to take on bosses and domains. Each week you'll get new battle pass challenges, reputation commissions, and weekly bosses. There is alsothe Serenitea pot to explore with furniture to craft, gardening to do, and ore or flowers to harvest.
Genshin Impact is also a game that's constantly in flux as each new update adds new archon quests, character story quests, and often other extras such as bosses, domains, or world quests. Since updates drop approximately every six weeks this is one game that you'll likely never truly beat.
