PowerWash Simulator 2 is a first-person cleaning simulation developed by FuturLab and released on Oct. 23. It is the direct sequel to PowerWash Simulator, which first arrived in early access in 2021.
Overview
PowerWash Simulator 2 continues the series’ focus on cleaning tasks played from a first-person perspective.

In addition, the game keeps the same core loop: locate dirt, choose the appropriate tools and nozzles, and remove grime from objects and environments.
New features
The sequel introduces several concrete additions:
- New tools and nozzles for different cleaning needs.
- Gadgets that provide vertical access, including a scissor lift and a hanging seat.
