Bypass those lengthy Monster Hunter Wilds cutscenes! While the game boasts a surprisingly engaging storyline and characters, some hunters just want to get straight to the action. Here's how to skip those cutscenes and jump right into the hunt.
Skipping Cutscenes:
To skip a cutscene, simply hold down the Y key on a keyboard, or the back button on your controller. Hold it for approximately one second. If you're using a less common control scheme, briefly press a few buttons during a cutscene; the required input will be displayed in the top-right corner of the screen.
Alternative Options:
You can pause cutscenes at any point, allowing you to review details without skipping entirely. However, since many Wilds cutscenes are integral to the plot, skipping is only recommended for subsequent playthroughs.
Rewatching Cutscenes:
Missed something or want to revisit a particularly awesome monster introduction? You can rewatch any cutscene from the in-game menu. This allows you to appreciate the story elements at your own pace, perhaps even capturing some memorable screenshots. While this might disrupt the narrative flow slightly, it's a great way to enjoy the game's visual highlights.
