If you're eager to dive into the action of *Monster Hunter Wilds* without the narrative interruptions, you'll be pleased to know that skipping cutscenes is straightforward. While the game boasts a compelling story with well-crafted characters, for those who crave the thrill of the hunt above all else, here's how to bypass the cinematic moments and get straight to the action.
Skipping Cutscenes in Monster Hunter Wilds
To skip those cutscenes that feel a tad too lengthy, simply hold 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 a unique control setup, try pressing a few buttons during a cutscene; the required input will appear in the top-right corner of your screen.
It's also handy to know that you can pause cutscenes if you want to ensure you catch every detail. Although many *Monster Hunter* cutscenes in past games might have seemed unnecessary, *Wilds* features story-centric scenes that are worth watching, especially during your first playthrough. We recommend skipping them only if you're on a subsequent run.
On the flip side, if you miss a cutscene or want to relive a moment, you can revisit them through the game's menu. This feature allows you to enjoy the cutscenes at your leisure, which can be particularly useful if you want to capture screenshots of the awe-inspiring monster introductions. While the story might feel disjointed if watched out of sequence, the spectacle of these scenes can be truly captivating.
