Craving the thrill of the hunt in *Monster Hunter Wilds* without the narrative interruptions? The game's story might be more engaging than ever, with well-crafted characters and compelling plots, but sometimes you just want to dive straight into the action. If you're eager to bypass the cutscenes and get to the heart of the hunt, here’s how you can do it seamlessly.
Skipping Cutscenes in Monster Hunter Wilds
If you find the cutscenes a bit too lengthy, you can easily skip them. On a keyboard, simply hold the Y key, or if you're using a controller, press and hold the back button. You'll need to hold it for about a second. If you're using an unconventional control setup, you can press a few buttons during a cutscene and check the top-right corner of the screen to see which input you should use to skip.
It’s also worth noting that you can pause cutscenes while they’re playing. This feature is perfect if you want to ensure you don't miss any important details. Although previous *Monster Hunter* titles might have had some skippable cutscenes, *Wilds* features story-driven scenes that enrich the narrative. We recommend skipping them only if you're on a subsequent playthrough.
On the flip side, if you miss any cutscenes or want to relive those epic moments, you can rewatch them through the in-game menu. This option allows you to enjoy the story at your own pace, even if it might feel a bit disjointed. Plus, the monster introductions in *Wilds* are spectacular, making it tempting to capture screenshots of your favorite beasts as they make their grand entrance.
