How to Skip Cutscenes in Monster Hunter Wilds

If you're eager to dive straight into the action in *Monster Hunter Wilds* and skip the story-driven cutscenes, we've got you covered. While the narrative in this installment boasts engaging characters and a compelling storyline, we understand the urge to focus solely on the thrill of the hunt. Here's how you can bypass the cutscenes and get to the heart of the game faster.

Skipping Cutscenes in Monster Hunter Wilds

To skip cutscenes that might feel a bit drawn out, simply hold down the Y key on your keyboard, or press and hold the back button if you're using a controller. You'll need to hold it for about a second. If you're using a non-standard control setup, try pressing a few buttons during a cutscene; the required input will be displayed in the top-right corner of the screen.

It's also worth mentioning that you have the option to pause cutscenes while they're playing. This feature is perfect if you want to ensure you don't miss any crucial story details. Given that the cutscenes in *Wilds* are more integral to the story than in previous *Monster Hunter* games, we recommend skipping them only if you're on a subsequent playthrough.

On the flip side, if you ever miss a cutscene or want to relive those epic moments, you can easily rewatch them through the game's menu. This allows you to enjoy the cutscenes at your own pace, even after they've initially played during your story progression. Although the narrative might feel disjointed when viewed this way, some of the monster introductions are truly spectacular, making it worthwhile to revisit and perhaps even capture some screenshots of your favorite beasts as they make their grand entrances.
