How Many Days Are There in Disco Elysium?

There are a total of ten playable days in Disco Elysium (Monday in the first week to Wednesday in the second week), though that doesn’t mean that you’ll be able to get the same amount done within each day. Without spoiling, certain events that happen later on that can restrict the actions you can take, or limit the amount of space or time you have.

Which days? Well, there’s no easy answer to that, as which ones they end up being are entirely dependent on your movement through the plot and your rate of progression. As you progress, actions you take will cause these moments, so the faster you’re going, the faster they’ll occur.

The truth is though, you don’t need to worry about it too much. Most people tend to finish the game around day seven or eight, assuming they take a reasonable pace, and that gives you a decent amount of time to explore the game’s sidequests and optional extras.
