FuturLab introduces PowerWash Simulator 2, Eyes 2025 Release Window

Get Ready for a Second Helping of PowerWash Simulator!

What’s better than the first-person sprayer experience of PowerWash Simulator? How about a sequel that promises to take the cleaning fun to a whole new level? Yes, you heard it right! We’re excited to spill the suds on the upcoming PowerWash Simulator 2, set to launch in 2025 on Steam, XBOX Series X|S, Playstation 5, and the Epic Games Store. And guess what? You can already add it to your wishlist on your favorite platform!

If you’ve been enjoying the original game through Game Pass or just stumbled upon it, let me give you the lowdown. PowerWash Simulator is exactly what it sounds like: you dive into a world filled with grime, clean it up, build your own washing empire, and soak in some unexpectedly fascinating lore—think mayors, cats, and yes, even aliens! It’s a wild ride that’s captured the hearts of over 17 million players, and now the creators are ready to give us even more.

Why a Sequel Makes Perfect Sense

Design Director Dan Chequer shares why a sequel was the next logical step for the franchise. “PowerWash Simulator has exceeded our expectations in ways we never imagined. While we’ve added loads of content to the original game, it was built on technology from four years ago, which has its limitations. So, it felt right to explore where we could go next,” he explains.

And let’s be honest—sequels can be a tricky business. But the team is committed to keeping the essence of what made the first game so enjoyable. Chequer emphasizes, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” The community’s main request? More of what they love, and that’s precisely what they’re delivering.

When brainstorming the sequel, the goal was clear: create a seamless transition from the first game while introducing new and improved features. “We wanted to ensure that players could easily move from the first to the second game, all while feeling like they’re getting something fresh,” Chequer adds. The result? Exciting new equipment, quality-of-life improvements, and yes, even better soap!

A Home Base to Call Your Own

In the original game, you worked from a garage, but now, players will have a dedicated home base. “This time around, we wanted to give players a space that truly feels like theirs,” says Dan. You’ll be able to personalize it with furniture and trinkets you collect, adding your own flair. It’s all about making the experience feel more like a business and less like a side gig.

A Story That Sticks

One of the challenges the team faced was figuring out how to follow up the explosive ending of the first game. “We wanted to see where our characters would be a few years later and explore the aftermath of the big events,” Dan explains. The narrative remains “opt-in,” meaning you can enjoy the game without diving into the story, but for those who do, there’s a rich tale that connects all your washing jobs together.

Shared Progression: Wash Together, Win Together

One exciting change is the introduction of shared progression in multiplayer mode. In the original game, joining a host’s game didn’t benefit your own progress, but that’s all changing in PowerWash Simulator 2. Now, up to four players can team up online in career mode, all earning equal rewards. And for those cozy nights in, there’s a split-screen mode for some good old-fashioned couch co-op.

Soap-erior Features and Equipment

At its core, PowerWash Simulator is all about that satisfying gameplay. The team has been careful to enhance the experience without compromising what made it great. “Washing is everything. The variety comes from what you wash, not how you wash it,” Dan notes.

One feature that has players buzzing is abseiling, a request that’s been on the community’s wishlist since the first game. Plus, get ready for a new soapy foam that softens even the most stubborn dirt, making cleanup a breeze. And let’s not forget the visual upgrades that will leave your surfaces sparkling!

A Bright Future Ahead

In an exciting twist, the team at FuturLab is self-publishing PowerWash Simulator 2. COO Chris Mehers reflects on the studio’s journey: “When we launched the first game in early access, we never imagined the kind of traction it would gain. The support of our community has allowed us to grow and develop not just a sequel but a franchise for years to come.”

While there’s plenty more to reveal, for now, PowerWash Simulator 2 is ready for your wishlist. Join the vibrant community of fellow cleaners on Discord, and get ready to dive into a world of suds and satisfaction!
