Get ready to spray away your stress. PowerWash Simulator 2 releases October 23, 2025 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2, and PC, bringing new cleaning tools and surprisingly wholesome gameplay to the cozy sim sequel.
What’s New
PowerWash Simulator 2 expands on the oddly satisfying original with 38 career jobs across brand-new locations like Sponge Valley, Power Falls, and Lubri City. The game launches October 23, 2025 for $24.99 across all platforms, matching the original’s price point. For the first time, players can tackle cleaning jobs in split-screen local co-op or team up online with up to four players, all with shared campaign progression.
New gameplay mechanics include the ProRise AE-300 for vertical cleaning, scissor lifts for reaching high spots, and abseiling down buildings. The sequel also introduces two adorable cats named Bubbles and Squeak that hang around your customizable home base. Between jobs, you’ll collect furniture and decorations to spruce up your pad and show off to friends.
The game adds challenging new modes like multi-stage jobs that evolve as you clean, enhanced soap physics that cling to stubborn stains, and an expanded upgrade system for nozzles and equipment.
Why It Matters
The original PowerWash Simulator became a surprise hit in 2022, with some players logging hundreds of hours finding zen-like satisfaction in virtual cleaning. The sequel’s split-screen feature addresses one of the community’s biggest requests, letting couples and friends clean together on the couch. Game Pass subscribers get day-one access, making it an easy pickup for anyone curious about the therapeutic power of pressure washing.
The game also features a surprise crossover with Valve’s Half-Life, including a Headcrab Zombie appearance later in the campaign.
The Bottom Line
If you need a break from high-stakes gaming, PowerWash Simulator 2 delivers pure, meditative satisfaction. The addition of co-op means you can share the cleaning therapy with friends, and those two cats don’t hurt either. Ready to blast away some grime on October 23?
