Clean Getaway: PowerWash Simulator 2 Devs Reveal Everything in New AMA
Get ready to soak up some seriously satisfying news. The team at FuturLab, the developers behind the surprise hit PowerWash Simulator, just hosted a tell-all Ask Me Anything (AMA) session on Reddit for the upcoming sequel. With PowerWash Simulator 2 launching on October 23, the team hosed down a ton of fan questions, revealing a sequel that’s been thoughtfully upgraded with new features, locations, and some highly-requested additions.
The core message was clear: they’re doubling down on the zen-like satisfaction that made the first game a phenomenon while adding more depth and community features. Here’s everything we learned.
Clean Together: Split-Screen and Shared Progression
Perhaps the biggest and most-requested reveal is the major expansion of multiplayer. For the first time, you’ll be able to tackle the grime with a friend right next to you, thanks to the addition of 2-player local split-screen co-op.
Online play is also getting a massive upgrade. While the first game had co-op, the sequel will feature shared online campaign progression for up to 4 players. This means you and your friends can build your power washing empire together, with all progress saved across your shared sessions. It’s a game-changer for those who love to clean collaboratively.
No Place Like (a Clean) Home Base
After a long day of blasting away dirt, you’ll need a place to relax. New to the sequel is a fully customizable home base. This hub acts as your personal space where you can kick back between jobs. As you complete tasks across the new world, you’ll earn money and find furniture and trinkets to decorate your pad. You can then invite your friends over to hang out and admire your clean, well-furnished headquarters. Oh, and the developers confirmed you can have pet cats in your home base, which might just be the most important feature of all.
Soap-erior Tools and a Bigger World
The satisfying gameplay loop is getting even better with new tools and mechanics. The sequel will feature 38 brand-new jobs that take you beyond the town of Muckingham into the wider Caldera County, with new locations like Lubri City and Pumpton. To tackle these new challenges, you’ll have access to new equipment:
- New Verticality Tools: A scissor lift and an abseiling kit will let you reach new heights and clean massive structures with ease.
- Enhanced Soap: The soap has been upgraded to be more effective, now clinging to stubborn stains to help annihilate dirt.
- Upgraded Tech: The team confirmed upgraded audio and visuals to make the cleaning experience even more immersive and satisfying.
- Dirt Finder: A new quality-of-life feature will automatically highlight the last bits of dirt when you’re close to finishing a job, eliminating frustrating pixel-hunting.
Conclusion
The developer AMA confirmed that PowerWash Simulator 2 is shaping up to be a perfect sequel. It keeps the relaxing, satisfying core that fans fell in love with while adding meaningful new features based directly on community feedback. With split-screen co-op, a customizable home base, and a bigger world to explore, the game looks set to deliver another tidal wave of chill vibes. The game launches on October 23 for PC, Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and the Nintendo Switch 2. It will also be available on Xbox Game Pass on day one.
