Check How Long It Takes to Beat Games on PC Game Pass with HowLongToBeat Integration on the Xbox App Now
Xbox recently announced some improvements for the Xbox App on PC. First, the app was updated to improve its performance and reliability. It now launches up to 15% faster, has significantly more stable, and has an improved search function to increase relevance and return results up to 20% faster. However, there’s a much bigger improvement to the app.
Xbox has partnered with HowLongToBeat to bring their estimated times to complete games to the app. In the game details page for most PC Game Pass (affiliate link) games, you’ll see estimates for how long a game will take you to complete at different levels. HowLongToBeat is community-driven, so these are actual numbers and not just marketing. The times displayed are as follows:
Main Story (Required): You complete the main objectives, just enough to see the credits roll
Main Story and Additional Quests/Medals/Unlockables: You take your time, discover and complete additional tasks not required
Completionist (100%): You strive for every achievement, every medal and conquer all that the game has to offer
Combined: All play styles considered during estimation
You can even submit your own times, manage your game library, and more if you click “View Details.” This sounds absolutely great! I need to go see how quickly I can knock out some of my backlog now.
