Far Cry 6: How to Skip Cutscenes & Dialog

Far Cry 6 has arrived courtesy of the talented folks over at Ubisoft, and that means you’ve got another open world sandbox FPS to play around in. This time, players venture to the jewel of the Caribbean known as Yara, as they try and topple the corrupt Castillo regime. In this guide, we’ll be talking you through how to skip cutscenes and dialog in Far Cry 6, so you can just get right back into the action.

Skipping Cutscenes in Far Cry 6

The good news is that you can skip any cutscene in Far Cry 6 by simply pressing and holding the Circle button on PlayStation consoles, or the B button on Xbox One/ Xbox Series X|S. For PC players, you simply need to press and hold the Escape button (Esc) in the top left-hand corner of your keyboard.

When you do this, you’ll see a small circle beginning to fill in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. Once this has completely filled, the cutscene will skip and you’ll be put back in control of Dani Rojas, so you can carry on your with your quest to topple the Castro regime.

That being said, we wouldn’t actually recommend skipping cutscenes in Far Cry 6 on your first playthrough. This is because, not only does Giancarlo Esposito absolutely nail his role as the corrupt El Presidenté Anton Castillo with visual levels to match, but these also provide some key story beats.

It’s also where you’ll see a lot of the father-son dynamic between Anton and Diego Castillo, which makes for some of the more interesting areas of the game’s narrative.

Skipping Dialog

To skip dialog, whenever a character is talking to you and you’re in control of Dani Rojas, simply walk away from them. They’ll either play through your radio, or they’ll eventually take the hint and just stop talking.

When you’re being briefed on a mission from a character and are taken to the screen where you can either ‘Accept’ or ‘Decline’ the mission. Simply select the option as soon as you’re done listening to them and the game will cut them off.

That’s everything you need to know on how to skip cutscenes and dialog in Far Cry 6. For more tips, tricks and guides, head over to our wiki, or see more of our coverage on the game below.
