Want to dive straight into the hunt in Monster Hunter Wilds? While the game boasts a surprisingly engaging story with well-developed characters, some players just want to get to the action. If that's you, here's how to skip those cutscenes.

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.
You can also pause cutscenes if you want to ensure you don't miss anything important. While previous Monster Hunter games had more superfluous cutscenes, Wilds' cutscenes are largely story-relevant. Skipping them is best reserved for subsequent playthroughs.
For those who prefer to revisit the cutscenes later, you can rewatch them from the in-game menu. This allows you to appreciate the story elements and stunning monster introductions at your own pace. It might slightly disrupt the narrative flow, but some monster reveals are truly spectacular—perfect for capturing screenshots!
