The sequel to 2022’s surprisingly engaging first-person clean-‘em-up, PowerWash Simulator, finally arrives on October 23.If you enjoyed the first game (along with the other 17 million people it got its hooks into), it looks like you’re in for even more shockingly dirty locations on which you can unleash your trusty power washer.
A new release date trailer shows off a variety of tools you can use to get the job done, as well your own customizable home base that you’re free to decorate, cover in muck and clean to your heart’s content. There are also cute cats to play with, a very knowing reference from the developers to this being a 2025 video game, which means you must be able to pet an animal of some description.
The latest trailer doesn’t focus on it, but PowerWash Simulator 2 also introduces split-screen co-op. The original quickly cemented itself as the ultimate chillout game, so you can now kick back and clean twice as effectively with the help of a buddy. You can also share campaign progress when playing online with friends.
PowerWash Simulator 2 hits the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2 and PC on October 23, and it’s coming to Game Pass, for those still hanging around those parts after Microsoft's recent price hike. Here’s hoping for an eventual DLC add-on as good as the first game’s (slightly random) Shrek tie-in.
