Are you eager to dive into the action of *Monster Hunter Wilds* without being held back by cutscenes? While the game offers a compelling narrative with well-crafted characters, not everyone might be in it for the story. If you're more about the thrill of the hunt, you'll definitely want to know how to skip those cutscenes and get straight to the action.
Skipping Cutscenes in Monster Hunter Wilds
If you find the cutscenes dragging on a bit too long, you can easily skip them. Simply hold the Y key on your keyboard or the back button on your controller for about a second. If you're using a non-standard control setup, you can press a couple of buttons during a cutscene and check the top-right corner of the screen to see which input you need to use to skip.
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 plot points. Although past *Monster Hunter* games have had cutscenes that felt a bit unnecessary, 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 particular moment, you can rewatch them from the in-game menu. This option allows you to enjoy the cutscenes at your leisure, which can be especially appealing if you're looking to capture screenshots of the dramatic monster introductions. Although watching them out of the story's flow might feel a bit disjointed, the stunning visuals of your favorite monsters entering the fray are definitely worth revisiting.
