How to Skip Cutscenes in Monster Hunter Wilds

Want to skip the cutscenes in Monster Hunter Wilds and get straight to the hunting action? While this game boasts a surprisingly engaging story and well-developed characters, we understand the urge to dive right into the monster fights. Here's how to bypass those cinematic interludes:

Skipping Cutscenes in Monster Hunter Wilds

Simply hold down the Y key on your keyboard, or the back button on your controller, for about a second during a cutscene. If you're using a less conventional control scheme, briefly press a few buttons during a cutscene; the required input will be displayed in the top-right corner of the screen.

For those who prefer to pause and savor the details, you can also pause cutscenes at any time. However, since many Wilds cutscenes are integral to the storyline, we recommend skipping them only on subsequent playthroughs.

Alternatively, you can rewatch any cutscene you've already viewed by accessing the in-game menu. This is perfect for revisiting impressive monster introductions or capturing screenshots of your favorite behemoths. While skipping might disrupt the narrative flow slightly, it allows you to focus on the core gameplay experience.
