Want to know how to skip cutscenes in *Monster Hunter Wilds*? While this latest installment breaks the mold with a more structured narrative and well-developed characters, not everyone is here for the storytelling. If you're all about the hunt and prefer to jump straight into the action, skipping cutscenes might be just what you need.
How to Skip Cutscenes in Monster Hunter Wilds
If you find yourself impatient during lengthy cutscenes, there's a simple way to fast-forward through them. During any cutscene, simply **hold the Y key on your keyboard** or **press and hold the back button on your controller** for about a second. This will immediately skip the current scene and drop you right back into gameplay.For players using alternative control schemes, pressing any two buttons during a cutscene will display the correct input for skipping it in the top-right corner of your screen. This ensures that no matter your setup, you can easily bypass cutscenes when needed.
Pause or Rewatch Cutscenes at Your Leisure
It’s also worth noting that you have the option to **pause cutscenes** while they’re playing. This gives you the chance to take a break without missing any important story beats. And if you later decide you want to catch up on what you skipped, you can **rewatch cutscenes from the game menu** at any time.While many previous entries in the Monster Hunter series treated cutscenes as optional lore snippets, Wilds integrates them more deeply into the overall narrative. That said, if you're replaying the game or just eager to get back into the field, skipping them won't hurt your progress.
Whether you're chasing screenshots of epic monster reveals or simply itching to dive back into the hunt, knowing how to manage cutscenes gives you full control over your Monster Hunter Wilds experience.
