How To Skip Cutscenes in Monster Hunter Wilds

In Monster Hunter Wilds, players can skip cutscenes they don’t want to watch. Pressing any buttons during a cutscene will display the designated button. 

To skip a cutscene:

• Press and hold the Tab on PC.
• Press and hold the Touchpad on PS5.

Hold the respective button until the on-screen meter fills. Once full, the cutscene will be skipped. The prompt does not appear on the screen for non-skippable cutscenes.
