Can You Skip Cutscenes in Monster Hunter: World?

Can't I just skip over this part?

Unskippable cutscenes can be rather annoying, especially if you’ve already played through the Story Mode once already. Can you jump past these tidbits of story in Monster Hunter: World, or are you stuck watching the mini-movies?

Is There A Way To Skip Cutscenes in Monster Hunter: World?

If you’re playing on a console, there is no way to skip the Monster Hunter: World cutscenes. They want to see what is unfolding in the story, and there isn’t a way to skip over them, even if you make a new character. On PC, however, there is a mod available that will allow you to skip over the story and just get right into the action.

There are a few choice cutscenes that can be skipped in the game, such as the cutscenes from sieges and repeatable missions, but Main Story cutscenes are a requirement to view. While this may be slightly obnoxious, the story of Monster Hunter: World is rather enjoyable so you won’t need to worry too much on that front. At least you can pause the cutscenes, unlike the main game, so you can step away for a minute after defeating a giant monster in the hunt of your life.

Will this feature ever come to the game? It’s unlikely, as updates to the game sunset in 2021, so it’s very unlikely that an official way to skip the cutscenes will not be introduced. It’s annoying, for sure, but they’re fairly brief so you can just glaze over them if you’ve created a new character or started on a new system.

Looking to find out if Monster Hunter: World has a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S patch to make the game look and play better than ever? Be sure to check out our section below to help you out on every step of your journey from start to finish.
