In this article, we will explain to you how to skip cutscenes in GTA 5 Online. Keep reading till the end to find out.
How to Skip Cutscenes in GTA 5 Online?
When you first jump into an online session, the game will require you to complete the Drug Wars mission, which kicks off with a pretty long cutscene. Thankfully, you can skip this and other cutscenes by following these simple steps:
On PC
- Keyboard: Press the ESC key.
On Consoles
- PlayStation: Press the X button.
- Xbox: Press the A button.
These controls are straightforward and allow you to bypass the cutscenes quickly.
Limitations and Updates
You can only skip cutscenes for new missions and the old Heist Missions. This means that not all cutscenes in the game are skippable, but the most repetitive ones can be bypassed.
Players have managed to discover glitches to skip all cutscenes, but these are often patched with new updates. Therefore, relying on glitches is not a consistent method for skipping cutscenes.
Before the February 2023 update, players were forced to watch certain cutscenes repeatedly if they failed the mission, which was quite irritating. Thankfully, the update allowed players to skip these scenes.
However, you still have to watch the cutscene the first time and can skip it on subsequent tries to go directly to the objective.
