How long is Control Resonant?
How long it takes you to complete Control Resonant will vary depending on how much you engage with side content
How long is Control Resonant, and how long will it take you to beat it and complete the full game? Players should expect at least twenty hours if they're planning to make it through to the end of the game and arguably a lot more, especially if you're a completionist engaged with side quests and optional content. If you want to know more about how long it'll take to beat Control Resonant, we've got all the numbers laid out below.
How long does it take to beat Control Resonant?
Depending on what sort of playthrough you're planning, here's how long it will take you to beat Control Resonant.
- Story Campaign. 20-25 hours.
- Standard Playthrough (Story + major side quests). 25-30 hours.
- 100% Completion. 40-50 hours.
There's some variation here as not only does Control Resonant have a lot of side content, it's also prone to difficulty spikes in both combat and puzzles, so depending on a player's skill level, some might find themselves struggling to progress in sections more than others, which we've taken into account in our estimations above.
The reality is also that most players will have to engage with side content to some degree or another, as the rewards earned through doing so are, if not essential, then at least incredibly helpful to surmounting the enemies and challenges in the main story.
It's also helpful to keep in mind that, yes, Control Resonant does have new game plus. Once you've completed the story and done everything you want to achieve, you are fully enabled to go back around and do the whole thing again without losing your abilities and unlocked gear.

Joel Franey is a writer, journalist, podcaster and Very Tired Man with a BA from Brunel University, a Masters from Sussex University and a decade working in games journalism, often focused on guides coverage but also in reviews, features and news. His love of games is strongest when it comes to groundbreaking narratives like Disco Elysium, UnderTale and Baldur's Gate 3, as well as innovative or refined gameplay experiences like XCOM, Sifu, Arkham Asylum or Slay the Spire. He is a firm believer that the vast majority of games would be improved by adding a grappling hook, and if they already have one, they should probably add another just to be safe.
