PowerWash Simulator 2

PowerWash Simulator 2 retains the same basic gameplay loop as the original game, with players using power washing equipment to remove dirt and grime from the surfaces of objects until they are completely cleaned. While cleaning, players can switch between different nozzles, which affect the strength and diameter of the water spray, including a new adaptable nozzle which can be manually adjusted. In the original game, players could use soap to instantly clean tougher stains, though they had limited quantities available and were required to purchase refills, with different types of soap being effective on different surfaces; in the sequel, soap is no longer limited, is effective on all surfaces, and when applied to grime will now stay visible, making tougher stains easier for players to clean. Players are also able to obtain a circular surface cleaner, allowing them to clean flat surfaces more effectively due to its wider radius.

New mission-specific tools available to players include an adjustable scissor lift for cleaning areas at different heights, and abseiling equipment for moving along walls while cleaning. An added "dirt finder" feature automatically highlights areas on the map with dirt remaining when the player has nearly completed a job. Multiplayer options have been expanded, including the addition of split-screen local multiplayer, and support for shared campaign progression in online multiplayer.

Three years after preventing the eruption of the Mount Rushless volcano, the power washer and their friend Harper Shaw have purchased a new building for their business in Muckingham. Now once again equipped, the power washer begins taking on new jobs across Caldera County, receiving periodic text messages from clients about the objects being cleaned and other recent goings-on.

As the power washer resumes work, disgraced former Muckingham mayor Jeff Jefferson XIII becomes the mayor of all of Caldera County and announces a competition for a "Town of the Year" award, hoping to extort favors from the towns in exchange for better chances of winning. This leads to multiple new jobs for the Power Washer due to towns beginning renovation initiatives to win the competition, as well as cleanup after protests of the mayor's overt corruption. Jefferson also demands the return of his cat Ulysses, whom the power washer and Shaw have been caring for since the mayor abandoned her, threatening legal action if they do not comply. At the same time, the jewels from Muckingham's giant merman statue go missing, disabling the stabilising beam to Mount Rushless.

FuturLab lead designer Nick McCarthy noted that after the success of the first game, the company was looking to "evolve" the original game and iterate on it instead of building a different experience. For the larger levels of the game that they were developing, FuturLab decided to add equipment like a scissor lift to make it easier for players to traverse the spaces.

The game was announced on 13 March 2025 for Windows, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. A Nintendo Switch 2 version was subsequently announced on 12 September. While the previous series entry was published by Square Enix Collective, PowerWash Simulator 2 is instead being independently published by FuturLab themselves. The game was released on 23 October 2025, and was available via Xbox Game Pass at launch.

PowerWash Simulator 2 received "generally favorable" reviews from critics, according to review aggregator website Metacritic.

IGN's Rachel Weber described the game as a "rare example" of a sequel that tweaked the right mechanics, and specifically praised the gameplay mechanic that allowed the player to used soap becoming free as an example of these improvements. Destructoid's Adam Newell noted that the game improved on the original in several areas, from better controls to improved level design. GameSpot's Mark Delaney also noted the improvements and praised the online multiplayer for sharing progression with the single player mode, but felt that overall, the sequel played it safer than it needed to.
