Skip Cutscenes in Monster Hunter Wilds: A Guide

Eager to dive into the action in *Monster Hunter Wilds* without getting bogged down by cutscenes? While the game boasts a compelling narrative with engaging characters, we understand that some players are here primarily for the thrill of the hunt. If you're one of those eager hunters looking to bypass the story and jump straight into combat, here's how you can efficiently skip those cutscenes.

Skipping Cutscenes in Monster Hunter Wilds

If you find yourself impatient during those longer cutscenes, you can easily skip them. Simply hold the Y key on your keyboard or press and hold the back button on your controller for about a second. If you're using a non-standard control setup, press a few buttons during a cutscene and look at the top-right corner of your screen to see which input you need to use to skip.

It's also worth mentioning that you have the option to pause cutscenes as they play. This feature is perfect if you're concerned about missing crucial story elements. Given that the cutscenes in *Monster Hunter Wilds* are more integral to the storyline than in previous entries, we suggest skipping them only if you're on a subsequent playthrough.

On the flip side, if you're interested in revisiting any cutscenes, you can do so by navigating to the menu. This allows you to watch them at your leisure, which can be particularly useful if you want to capture screenshots of the stunning monster introductions that the game offers. Although watching them out of context might feel a bit disjointed, the visual spectacle of these scenes is definitely worth a second look.
