Diablo IV introduces a new story, taking place in the world of Sanctuary once more. Players will journey across various zones and complete different quests. As the story unfolds, cutscenes will tell players about the world and what their characters are going through. However, some players prefer to skip cutscenes but may not know how or can’t skip Diablo 4cutscenes.

Why can’t I Skip Cutscenes in Diablo 4?
There appears to be a bug that doesn’t allow players to skip cutscenes. Pressing the appropriate button will raise the prompt to skip the cutscene, but you cannot. This islikely due to a bug. Diablo IV is beta, so some bugs are to be expected.
Even holding down the skip button does not solve this issue. You will simply need to be patient and wait for the bug to be fixed, which hopefully will be solved by full release. Until then, you must sit through Diablo IV’s cutscenes.
