There were plenty of jokes when it arrived last week, but PowerWash Simulator has evidently been a making a huge splash following its version 1.0 launch, both on Steam and Xbox Game Pass for consoles and PC.
We've seen lots and lots of reports from satisfied players who have been spending a ridiculous amount of time powerwashing everything from cars to gardens and playgrounds, and having an absolute blast in the process:
In fact, it's estimated by MPG Analytics to have reached around 1 million players on Game Pass already:
We're certainly not going to argue with its popularity, as we've also been having a great time with the game over the past week, giving it a score of 8/10 in our review and calling it "a great way to chill out with Xbox Game Pass":
"PowerWash Simulator is a really chill addition to Xbox Game Pass that you'll likely end up enjoying a lot if you're into this sort of thing, while others will inevitably think it's boring and too repetitive. It does what it says on the tin though, executing on its concept very effectively, while the addition of online co-op with cross-play between Xbox and PC is a great touch."
Despite the positivity, there are still a few issues with PowerWash Simulator on Xbox at the moment, such as a multiplayer problem where looking at the sun causes a crash, but a hotfix is already in the works to fix this very soon.
So, how are you finding PowerWash Simulator on Xbox Game Pass so far? Has it taken over your gaming life, or did you play it for five minutes and find it horrendously boring? Let us know down in the comments section below!

Glad I got to try it but I would never buy it. I thought it was a bit boring and gave up on it.
I am sure folks will have fun with it or find it relaxing but yeah that ain't me.
I think all of us as kids watched someone power washing something and really wanted to do it ourselves.
So it’s probably got something to do with that. It’s just very satisfying to blast something clean with a thin spray of water.
It's a good time waster. Be warned, it's a bit buggy out of quick resume (what isn't?).
I was having fun with it. I was halfway through the second level which took me about half an hour I guess and then I looked up at the Sun and my game crashed. Needless to say, I'm waiting for the update.
Don't know if anyone's heard... but it's on Game Pass 👀
I'm loving it, I put a podcast or a video on and zone out.
It’s a blast! Pun intended!
But seriously an oddly great and soothing game. One of those “I didn’t know I needed it” games. Highly recommend if ya need some zen. Best part is there’s a career mode with progression for those like me that need a goal.
The real thing is better.
I have to put some music on whilst I’m playing it otherwise I’d get bored pretty quickly
It's the world's first first person sooter.
Hoping for a VR version to come out.
@InterceptorAlpha dood, it's been out for years, the graphics are totally lit. You can get one used on eBay for like $150
I'll order one for you. And give you my address. You can play as much as you want!
@NEStalgia I've got a pressure washer in real life though lol. Just doesn't come with air conditioning inside the comfiness of my living room though.
@InterceptorAlpha it's not true VR if you can't feel the sweat and smell like gasoline!
Omg, I get it that gamers have different taste, but this game seriously. Next they gonna tell us it's GOTY contender too lolol. Must be a false hype they're creating in an attempt to try n boost the game?
