Stray: Playtime

If you're mostly focussing on the main story plus like to do some of the side quests as well, Stray is around 6-7 hours long. If you aim for completing the game a 100%, you can add about 3-4 extra hours, which would result in a total playtime of about 10 hours.

Since Stray is not a full-price title, that is quite sizeable, though not overwhelming in comparison to many AAA games. In our opinion, it's still absolutely worth spending your money on it.
