PowerWash Simulator 2 announced, Nintendo Switch 2 launch plans discussed – Eurogamer

UPDATE: FuturLab provides new statement.UPDATE 5pm UK: FuturLab has backtracked on its confirmation of a Switch 2 launch for PowerWash Simulator 2. FuturLab previously told Eurogamer: “We do plan to release on Switch 2, but will share more on that when we are ready.”FutureLab has now told Eurogamer the statement it sent was inaccurate, and provided one with updated wording: “Whilst we would like to release on Switch 2, there are no current firm plans. We have no timeframe or news there.”With Switch 2 largely still under-wraps until 2nd April, Nintendo itself is yet to confirm any specific game for the company’s new console. Maybe after then we’ll hear more.ORIGINAL STORY 3pm UK: Relaxing cleaning sim PowerWash Simulator is getting a full-blown sequel, and it’s due out this year. Eurogamer can also confirm the game will launch on Nintendo Switch 2.
PowerWash Simulator 2 will soak into PC via Steam, Epic Games Store and Windows Store, as well as PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S at some point in 2025, with more details of the Switch 2 version to follow.
British studio FuturLab has come up with several major improvements for this new iteration, including four-player online co-op with shared progression, as well as a two-player local splitscreen option.
The game will also now feature a Central Homebase hub for your PowerWash business, which you can customise with various furnishings, and show off collectible rewards.
PowerWash Simulator 2 will feature a full new campaign, picking up where the original’s truly wacky ending left off (no spoilers here, scrub). That means heading back to the filthy town of Muckingham and its surrounding Caldera County for more filth-ridden jobs.
These include a parade float, tram and teapot house, a quick initial look at the game has revealed. PowerWash Simulator 2’s visuals have also clearly had a scrub up, and there’s mention of a new soaping system where you can cover an area and quickly rinse away even the toughest grubbiness.
There are “no plans” currently for a VR version, FuturLab told Eurogamer.
FuturLab says more than 17 million players have played the original PowerWash Simulator to date, and experienced its relaxing gameplay and dopamine-inducing ‘pings’ when sections are complete. I can’t wait for more.
