Want to skip the cutscenes in Monster Hunter Rise? While Rise's story features surprisingly well-developed characters and an engaging plot, some hunters just want to get straight to the action. If that's you, here's how to bypass the cinematics and jump into the hunt.
Skipping Cutscenes in Monster Hunter Rise
If those cutscenes are dragging on, 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; a prompt indicating the correct skip input will appear in the top-right corner.
You can also pause cutscenes, allowing you to catch any details you might miss. However, many of Rise's cutscenes are crucial to the story, so skipping them is only recommended on subsequent playthroughs.
For those who prefer to savor the story elements later, you can rewatch cutscenes from the in-game menu. This lets you revisit memorable moments, such as the dramatic monster introductions, at your leisure—perfect for capturing screenshots of your favorite beasts. While this approach might disrupt the narrative flow slightly, it allows you to appreciate the cinematic details without interrupting your hunt.
