How to Skip Cutscenes in Monster Hunter Wilds

Are you eager to dive into the action of *Monster Hunter Wilds* without lingering on the cutscenes? While this latest installment boasts a compelling narrative with well-developed characters, some players might prefer to skip straight to the thrill of the hunt. If that's you, here's how you can bypass the story segments and get to the heart of the game.

Skipping Cutscenes in Monster Hunter Wilds

If you find the cutscenes dragging on, you can easily skip them by holding 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 an unconventional control setup, you can press a few buttons during a cutscene and then check the top-right corner of the screen to see which input you should use.

It's also worth mentioning that you can pause cutscenes while they're playing. This feature is handy if you want to ensure you don't miss any crucial details. Although many cutscenes in previous *Monster Hunter* games felt unnecessary, those 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 rewatch them through the in-game menu. This option allows you to enjoy the cutscenes at your leisure, rather than during automatic story progression. While this might make the story feel a bit disjointed, the monster introductions in *Wilds* are spectacular, making it worthwhile to capture a screenshot or two of your favorite creatures as they make their grand entrance.
