Featuring five Main Quests, three world-building Side Quests, and several Collectibles to discover, your time in the Burning Shores will vary depending on your playstyle and your difficulty settings. In our experience, the Burning Shores Main Story is roughly 6-8 hours long, with each Main Quest taking a little over an hour to complete. However, if you're prone to exploration and interested in completing everything this Horizon Forbidden West expansion has to offer, your playtime can quickly balloon to well over 12 hours.
