How to Skip Cutscenes in Monster Hunter Wilds

If you're eager to dive straight into the action in *Monster Hunter Wilds* and bypass the narrative cutscenes, you're in luck. This latest installment in the beloved series offers a compelling story with well-crafted characters, but for those who are all about the hunt, here's how you can skip the cutscenes and get to the heart of the game.

Skipping Cutscenes in Monster Hunter Wilds

To skip those cutscenes that might feel a bit too lengthy, simply hold down the Y key on your keyboard or the back button on your controller. You'll need to hold it for about a second. If you're using a non-standard control setup, you can press a few buttons during a cutscene, and the game will display the correct input in the top-right corner of your 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 details. While previous *Monster Hunter* games might have had cutscenes that felt less essential, the ones in *Wilds* are integral to the story. We recommend skipping them only if you're on a subsequent playthrough.

On the flip side, if you miss a cutscene or want to relive a moment, you can easily rewatch them through the in-game menu. This allows you to enjoy the cutscenes at your own pace, which can be particularly useful if you're interested in capturing screenshots of the stunning monster introductions. While the story might feel disjointed this way, the visual spectacle of these scenes is definitely worth revisiting.
