How to Skip Cutscenes in Monster Hunter Wilds

Want to skip the cutscenes in Monster Hunter Wilds and get straight to the hunting action? While the game boasts a surprisingly engaging story with well-developed characters, we understand the desire to jump right into the hunt. Here's how to bypass those cinematic moments:

Skipping Cutscenes in Monster Hunter Wilds

To skip cutscenes, simply hold down the Y key on a keyboard, or the back button on your controller. Hold it for about a 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.

Need a pause? You can pause cutscenes at any time, allowing you to catch any details you might otherwise miss. However, since many Wilds cutscenes are integral to the story, we only recommend skipping them on subsequent playthroughs.

Rewatching Cutscenes

Missed something or want to revisit a particularly awesome monster introduction? You can rewatch any cutscene you've already seen through the in-game menu. This allows you to appreciate the story beats and stunning visuals at your own pace, even if it slightly disrupts the narrative flow. Perfect for grabbing screenshots of your favorite monster reveals!
