You can check out the details below to see what you’ve got ahead of you and you can also see more details on each of the chapters in the section at the bottom of the page to fill in any blanks you might have.
The story starts out with the Guardians as they’re searching a restricted area of space where the remnants of the galactic war are being dealt with. However, there’s a lot packed into the game before the credits roll, so check out the details below to find out more about the chapters you’ll need to play and how long they all are.
AdvertisementWith approximately 20 hours of gameplay in the campaign and story there’s plenty to get your teeth stuck into, but you probably want to know where you are in all of that. The game time estimate doesn’t include all of the collectible and outfit hunting you’re likely to do after that, so you might want to add in a few more hours if you’re a completionist.

How many chapters in the game
AdvertisementThe Guardians of the Galaxy game has 16 core chapters to play, plus the prologue, which is a short origin piece with a young Peter Quill on the day his life changed forever. The good news is that you can replay the chapters any time you want to from the Main Menu. You just need to have completed them in the main campaign and then they’ll be unlocked in the chapters menu.
The main reason to replay the chapters will be to hunt for collectibles and outfits, but you can also do it if you’re trying to 100% the trophies in the game. You can see below the approximate play times for each of them to give you a better idea of how much time it’s likely going to take to make it through, so you can plan your attack a little better.
In addition to the replay option for individual chapters, you also get to replay the game once you complete it with New Game Plus. This will allow you to start things right from the very start, but carrying over your upgrades and abilities from your first play through, which will extend the gameplay time by a long way.
