Icarus is an exciting multiplayer survival game where players will have to fend off aggressive wildlife and seek shelter from dangerous storms. One thing that isn't quite so exciting is sitting through the long and slow intro. So players may be wondering if they can skip the intro video in Icarus.
The answer is yes—you can skip the intro video in Icarus. But you can't simply just press buttons in-game to do so. Instead, you will need to go out of the game to skip it. Follow these instructions to skip the Icarus intro video.
