If you're eager to dive straight into the action in *Monster Hunter Wilds* and bypass the storytelling, you'll be pleased to know that skipping cutscenes is straightforward. While the game's narrative and character development are more engaging than ever, some players prefer to focus on the thrill of the hunt. If you're one of those players, here's how you can quickly move past the cutscenes to get to the heart of the game.
Skipping Cutscenes in Monster Hunter Wilds
To skip cutscenes in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, 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 less common control setup, you can press a few buttons during a cutscene, and the required input will be displayed in the top-right corner of the screen.
It's also worth mentioning that you can pause cutscenes if you want to ensure you don't miss any crucial details. Although many cutscenes in previous *Monster Hunter* games felt somewhat unnecessary, the ones in *Wilds* are integral to the story. We recommend skipping them only if you're on a repeat playthrough.
On the flip side, if you miss a cutscene or want to relive a moment, you can rewatch them by navigating to the menu. This feature allows you to view cutscenes at your convenience, which can be handy if you want to capture screenshots of those stunning monster introductions. While watching them out of sequence might feel a bit disjointed, it's a great way to appreciate the game's visual spectacle at your own pace.
