Things have gone ba-nay-nay in the Candy Kingdom, and someone needs to clean up the schmutz. FuturLab announced on December 17, 2025, that PowerWash Simulator 2 is getting its first major DLC crossover, teaming up with Adventure Time for a Spring 2026 release. The Adventure Time Pack brings five fan-favorite locations from the Land of Ooo to pressure wash, new custom equipment themed around the show, and a story featuring Princess Bubblegum, Finn, Jake, The Ice King, Gunter, and The Party God. After the original PowerWash Simulator racked up collaborations with Tomb Raider, SpongeBob SquarePants, Warhammer 40,000, and Shrek, expectations are high for this latest crossover.
What’s in the Adventure Time Pack
The Adventure Time DLC features five locations from the beloved Cartoon Network series, though FuturLab hasn’t revealed exactly which areas players will be cleaning. Given the show’s iconic settings, expect possibilities like Finn and Jake’s Tree Fort, the Candy Kingdom castle, the Ice Kingdom, Marceline’s cave house, or Lumpy Space. Each location promises to be packed with Easter eggs for longtime fans to discover while blasting away dirt and grime.
Players can tackle these jobs solo or team up with friends in cooperative play. The DLC supports up to four players working together to scrub down the Land of Ooo, maintaining the franchise’s emphasis on satisfying multiplayer cleaning sessions. New custom equipment themed around Adventure Time joins the standard power washing arsenal, letting you clean in style with gear inspired by the show’s aesthetic.
The story component features voice work from Adventure Time characters, with Princess Bubblegum presumably requesting cleaning services after some typical Land of Ooo chaos. Finn and Jake will likely provide their usual enthusiasm, while The Ice King, Gunter, and The Party God create complications. FuturLab describes it as a brilliantly bananas storyline, which fits perfectly with Adventure Time’s absurdist humor and unpredictable narrative style.
Why This Crossover Makes Perfect Sense
Adventure Time and PowerWash Simulator might seem like an odd pairing, but the collaboration actually works brilliantly. The show aired from 2010 to 2018 on Cartoon Network, building a passionate fanbase that grew up with Finn and Jake’s adventures. Now those fans are adults with disposable income who appreciate chill gaming experiences like power washing virtual dirt while nostalgia-tripping through childhood memories.
The Land of Ooo’s whimsical, post-apocalyptic setting provides visually distinctive locations perfect for detailed cleaning. The Candy Kingdom’s pink and white architecture, the Ice Kingdom’s frozen structures, and the various quirky buildings scattered across Ooo all offer unique environmental challenges. Unlike generic urban or suburban settings, these fantastical locations give PowerWash Simulator 2 opportunities to showcase its improved graphics engine while rewarding players with instantly recognizable landmarks.
Adventure Time’s commitment to hiding background details and Easter eggs aligns perfectly with PowerWash Simulator’s gameplay loop. Fans love spotting references and callbacks in the show, and translating that into discoverable cleaning challenges creates natural synergy. As you blast grime off surfaces, you’ll uncover hidden jokes, character references, and visual gags that reward close attention and knowledge of the series.
Following in Big Franchise Footsteps
PowerWash Simulator earned a reputation for securing impressive licensed collaborations. The original game launched DLC packs featuring Tomb Raider’s Croft Manor on January 31, 2023, letting players clean Lara’s iconic estate. The Midgar Special Pack from Final Fantasy VII Remake arrived March 2, 2023, bringing the dystopian city to the cleaning sim. SpongeBob SquarePants joined on June 29, 2023, with Bikini Bottom locations like the Krusty Krab and Conch Street homes.
Later crossovers got even wilder. Back to the Future let players restore the DeLorean time machine on November 16, 2023. Warhammer 40,000 brought the grimdark future’s war machines to clean on February 27, 2024. Alice’s Adventures dropped players into Wonderland on July 2, 2024. Shrek’s swamp needed scrubbing on October 10, 2024. Wallace and Gromit’s inventions got the treatment on March 4, 2025. Each pack demonstrated FuturLab’s ability to adapt franchises respectfully while maintaining the satisfying core gameplay.
These collaborations aren’t just cash grabs. FuturLab includes authentic details, proper licensing, and clear love for the source material. SpongeBob fans noted the attention to small jokes from the show hidden on objects like the dumpster behind the Krusty Krab. Warhammer enthusiasts appreciated seeing their favorite Imperial war machines represented accurately. That commitment to quality is why PowerWash Simulator’s licensed DLC stands out from typical shovelware tie-ins.
PowerWash Simulator 2’s Success Story
PowerWash Simulator 2 launched October 23, 2025, as a day-one addition to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. The game arrived simultaneously on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, and Nintendo Switch 2. IGN gave it an 8/10, praising how it smartly sticks to the original formula while adding upgrades to address minor issues. PC Gamer described it as more evolution than revolution, building on what worked rather than reinventing mechanics unnecessarily.
The sequel includes a new campaign uncovering more mysteries in the town of Muckingham, continuing the surprisingly deep lore from the first game involving aliens and Atlantis. New locations like Sponge Valley, Power Falls, and Lubri City expand the world beyond typical suburban driveways and dirty buildings. Players now have a customizable home base where they collect furniture and trinkets, then invite friends over to show off their decorating skills.
New mechanics include enhanced soap that melts stubborn dirt faster, a surface cleaner attachment for larger flat areas, and improved dirt systems with more visual complexity. Split-screen co-op and online multiplayer for up to four players make cleaning sessions more social. The satisfying ping sound when completing a dirty section returns, along with the meditative gameplay loop that made the original a viral hit with over 17 million players across all platforms.
The Bigger DLC Roadmap
Adventure Time represents just the first of three planned paid DLC crossover packs for PowerWash Simulator 2 in 2026. FuturLab announced plans for additional collaborations but hasn’t revealed which franchises they’re working with yet. Given the first game’s track record spanning animation, movies, video games, and tabletop properties, literally anything is possible. Fans are already speculating about potential partnerships ranging from Disney properties to major gaming franchises.
Free content updates will arrive alongside paid DLC, including quality-of-life improvements and seasonal events. FuturLab has stated that content could change based on community feedback or development realities, showing flexibility in responding to what players actually want. The studio is now self-publishing PowerWash Simulator 2 after the original game’s success allowed them to move away from Square Enix’s publishing partnership.
Why People Love Pressure Washing Virtually
PowerWash Simulator tapped into something special when it launched in early access in 2021. The game provides pure, uncomplicated satisfaction through a simple loop: point the washer, hold the trigger, watch dirt disappear, hear the completion ping. No combat, no fail states, no time pressure, just methodical cleaning that produces visible results. In an era of chaotic battle royales and demanding competitive shooters, PowerWash offers therapeutic relaxation.
The meditative quality appeals to players dealing with stress or anxiety. Cleaning virtual spaces provides a sense of control and accomplishment without real-world consequences. You can’t mess up, only go slower. The visual feedback is immediate and satisfying. Completing a job leaves you with pristine surfaces and a dopamine hit from the transformation. It’s gaming comfort food, the equivalent of watching satisfying cleaning videos on YouTube but interactive.
Multiplayer adds social bonding without competition. You’re not fighting against friends, just working together toward a common goal. Conversation flows naturally during the repetitive tasks, making it perfect for maintaining long-distance friendships or casual gaming sessions with family. The low stakes and accessible controls mean almost anyone can pick it up regardless of gaming experience.
Pricing and Availability
The Adventure Time Pack will cost $7.99, £6.50, or €7.99 when it launches in Spring 2026. That pricing matches the original game’s DLC packs, which typically ranged from $7.99 to $9.99 depending on content quantity. For that price, you get five full locations, custom equipment, and story content, representing several hours of gameplay depending on how thoroughly you clean and explore.
The DLC will be available across all platforms where PowerWash Simulator 2 launched: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, and Nintendo Switch 2. Cross-platform multiplayer means you can team up with friends regardless of where they’re playing, though you’ll all need to own the DLC to play its content together. Pre-orders aren’t available yet, but the Steam and Epic Games Store pages list the DLC with coming soon tags.

Spring 2026 can’t come fast enough for fans eager to restore the Candy Kingdom to its former glory, one satisfying spray at a time.
