# PowerWash Simulator: why washing dirt off is so satisfying

Source: https://roam.new/powerwash-simulator/

PowerWash Simulator is a cleaning game by FuturLab, released in full on July 14, 2022 for PC and Xbox after about a year in Early Access. You take jobs, point a pressure washer at grimy vans, playgrounds and houses, and wash every surface back to clean. A sequel, PowerWash Simulator 2, came out on October 23, 2025.

## Why it feels so good

Every second of spraying shows progress. A stripe of clean paint appears wherever the water hits, and dirt does not come back. There is no enemy and no timer, just a messy thing turning clean.

Each part of an object counts on its own. Finish a wheel, a window or a step and the game marks it done with a little flash and sound, so a big job breaks into many small wins. The last few specks become a hunt, and finding them is half the fun.

It is also calm, which is why many players use it to wind down after a long day. There is no way to lose a job, only a way to finish it.


## How the game works

- **Jobs**: A career mode of cleaning jobs, from a van to a whole house, paid when finished.
- **Gear**: Earnings buy new washers, nozzles and cleaning products.
- **Co-op**: Friends can join online and clean the same job.
- **Platforms**: PC and Xbox at launch, then PlayStation and Switch on January 31, 2023.
- **Sequel**: PowerWash Simulator 2 is on PS5, Xbox Series, Switch 2 and PC.
