Skip Cutscenes in Monster Hunter Wilds: A Guide

Are you eager to dive into the action in *Monster Hunter Wilds* without sitting through the cutscenes? While the latest installment in this beloved series boasts a well-crafted story with engaging characters, we understand that some players are here purely for the thrill of the hunt. If that's you, here's how to quickly bypass the narrative and get straight to the monster-slaying action.

Skipping Cutscenes in Monster Hunter Wilds

If you find the cutscenes dragging on, skipping them is straightforward. On a keyboard, hold down the Y key for about a second. If you're using a controller, press and hold the back button for the same duration. For those using custom control settings, try pressing a few buttons during a cutscene; the correct input will be displayed in the top-right corner of the screen.

It's also useful to know that you can pause cutscenes if you need to take a break or ensure you don't miss any details. Although previous *Monster Hunter* games had cutscenes that felt less essential, those in *Wilds* are more integral to the story. We suggest 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 revisit them through the in-game menu. This feature allows you to watch cutscenes at your leisure, which can be great for capturing those epic monster entrances. Although viewing cutscenes out of sequence might feel a bit disjointed, the stunning visuals of monster introductions make it worthwhile, especially if you're aiming to take some impressive screenshots.
