For fans of *Monster Hunter Wilds* eager to dive straight into the action, understanding how to skip cutscenes can be a game-changer. While this latest installment boasts a compelling narrative with well-crafted characters, some players are here primarily for the thrill of the hunt. If you're one of those hunters looking to bypass the dialogue and get to the heart of the game, here's how you can do it.
Skipping Cutscenes in Monster Hunter Wilds
If you find the cutscenes dragging on, 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, press a few buttons during a cutscene and look at the top-right corner of the screen to see which input you should use to skip.
It's also worth mentioning that you can pause cutscenes if you want to ensure you don't miss any crucial details. While previous *Monster Hunter* games often included cutscenes that felt unnecessary, *Wilds* features story-driven scenes, so 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 rewatch them from the game's menu. This feature allows you to enjoy the cutscenes at your leisure, which is great if you're looking to capture screenshots of the stunning monster introductions. While the story might feel disjointed this way, the spectacle of these scenes is certainly worth revisiting.
