Known Issues - 30/10

PowerWash Simulator 2 is still in active development - we'll have more improvements, content and features to come. The answers below could change as the game grows.

We’ll be expanding this FAQ as we share more about PowerWash Simulator 2.

Firstly, who are FuturLab?

We are the developers of PowerWash Simulator, PowerWash Simulator 2 and PowerWash Simulator on Apple Arcade. Our mission is to make incredibly satisfying games that are joyful and relaxing.

Which Platforms will PWS2 be available for?

Steam, Epic Games, Windows Store, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5|Pro & Nintendo Switch 2!

We don’t have any plans to bring PowerWash Simulator 2 to PS4, Xbox One or Nintendo Switch 1.

How much content will be in PWS2?

It will have a fully-fledged Career with 38 jobs, all replayable in freeplay once completed.

More content will be coming to PowerWash Simulator 2 post-launch, including both free and paid content.

What about post-launch content?

PowerWash Simulator 2 will be receiving both free and paid updates post-launch, as well as planned Community Events. 

We’ll have more to share on the Community Events as we get closer to them.

Will there be more challenge levels? 

No, PowerWash Simulator 2 won’t include challenge levels, as a team we felt this wasn’t in line with the relaxing nature of PowerWash Simulator and made the decision not to include them this time around.

Will PWS2 have a story? 

The story is set a couple of years after the events of the first, and more oddness is taking place in Muckingham! It answers a few questions left unanswered last time, while raising many others. You will also be going further afield, visiting and cleaning many other neighbouring towns in Caldera County. 

Like in PWS, the story unfolds through environmental storytelling and text messages from friends and clients. Although the story of PowerWash Simulator will continue, you won’t need to play PowerWash Simulator to enjoy our sequel.

Will PWS2 have multiplayer? 

Yes! PWS2 will support up to 4-player online Co-op with shared online progression, and 2-player local split screen. 

Will PWS2 have key rebinding?

Currently, PWS2 does not have key rebinding, but this is a number 1 priority for post-launch and hope to have this added in for everyone as soon as possible.

Will PWS2 have Cross-play?

This will remain the same as PowerWash Simulator, with the same code system for joining co-op games. PC (Steam, Epic Games, Windows Store) platforms will be able to play with Xbox consoles.

PlayStation and Nintendo Switch 2 will not have any cross-play features at launch. If this changes in the future, we’ll let everyone know.

Will there be mod support/community-made jobs?

This isn’t something we’re looking at adding to PowerWash Simulator 2 in the foreseeable future.

If this changes, we’ll make sure to announce it to everyone, but right now, it isn’t something we’re looking to pursue.

Does PWS2 have improved visuals? 

We're proud to say that PWS2 is a visual step up from PWS, while maintaining the familiar style of PWS. 

What is the Home Base? 

In PWS it was hinted that the player character was working from their small garage, but this time around, they’ve taken a step up in the world and pumped all their profits into purchasing a spacious Home Base. 

You will start in and return to the Home Base between jobs. You can also customize this by purchasing furniture, then cleaning it and placing it within the big open plan downstairs area however you like. Keep track of progress made during the career mode and inspect memorabilia collected along the way. You can also invite your friends to get coordinated into a party before setting off to do some jobs together. 

How much customisation will there be? 

As well as your home base, you’ll be able to change the look of your washer and even your van! 

At launch, you’ll be able to unlock new looks for your Washer, van and washing equipment. These will be Outfit cosmetics - Split into Masks, Overalls, Gloves & Boots, Van Cosmetics, Washer Cosmetics. 

We plan to expand more on these post-launch.

What is soap 2.0? 

Soap has been reworked for PWS2! Enhanced soap is now a bubbling foam that clings to stubborn stains and annihilates dirt with a swish of even the weakest and widest nozzle. 

Is there new equipment?

There is a wide range of new equipment. This includes:

• New models of washers
• Abseiling rigs
• Scissor Lifts
• Improved Scaffolding
• Step Ladders
• Adaptable nozzle

Will PWS2 have achievements? 

Yes, there will be 40 achievements on launch!

What other improvements are there?

PWS2 is an evolution from the first game, based on community feedback and what we have learned from PWS to level up the satisfaction. The soothing act of washing away muck and grime to reveal a sparkling surface below will always be our focus.

Also, CATS! 

Will there be a VR version? 

There are no plans for this right now. 

Will there be a physical edition of PWS2? 

There are no plans for a physical release.

Will PWS2 be on Game Pass? 

Yes! PWS2 is available on Game Pass on the Xbox App.

Steam Deck Verified?

Will PWS2 come to Switch 2? 

Yes, PowerWash Simulator 2 is available on Nintendo Switch 2! It is also available on Steam, Epic Games, Windows Store, Xbox Series S|X and PlayStation 5.
