Devil May Cry 5 usually takes about 10–12 hours for a first main-story playthrough, with completionist runs landing around 35–67 hours depending on how much extra content you do and how many difficulty modes you clear.

Quick Scoop

  • Main story: about 10–12 hours on a typical first run.
  • Side content and higher ratings: about 16–17 hours.
  • Full completion: roughly 35–67 hours , depending on skill and how thoroughly you chase unlocks.
  • A few players report first runs closer to 13–15+ hours , especially on higher difficulty or with slower mission clears.

What changes the time

  • Difficulty matters a lot: easier settings are faster, while tougher modes can add time.
  • Skill level also matters because action-game familiarity speeds up mission clears.
  • Replay value is a big part of DMC, so the first clear is usually much shorter than the total time spent with the game.

If you mean another Devil May Cry

For the wider series, the games are generally not very long, with many players putting the earlier entries in the 4–9 hour range per first run, depending on the title and experience level. A forum thread also suggests DMC1 can be finished especially quickly by experienced players.
