POWERWASH SIMULATOR lets players wash away their worries with the soothing sounds of high-pressure water. Players can build their very own power washing business and blast away every speck of dirt and grime that they can find. With a unique take on the simulation genre, POWERWASH SIMULATOR focuses on player relaxation and escapism. FuturLab Founder and Co-CEO James Marsden expressed his excitement for launch and its debut on new platforms: “By far the biggest request we’ve received from players is to see the game come to Xbox, and we’ve been biting our tongue for months waiting for the right time to reveal this news – we can’t wait to see POWERWASH SIMULATOR join the Xbox and Windows 10 platforms.”

“We’ve been blown away by the community support for the game, and we can’t wait until release day!” added Phil Elliott, studio head at Square Enix Collective. “We also have a lot of really exciting plans for the weeks and months to come as well, so this is by no means the end of development.”

After a successful year in Early Access on Steam, players on Xbox and Windows 10 can also build their own power washing business as they complete a variety of dirty jobs across the dusty town of ‘Muckingham’. The game promises good, clean fun for all kinds of gamers now on Xbox consoles for the first time. Square Enix Collective and FuturLab are excited to further expand the game with regular updates and much more to come!

F1 22 Goes into VR on the PC

F1® 22 will also be available for PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®4, and Xbox One.

“VR revolutionises F1 22 on PC and takes the race weekend to an entirely new level,” said Lee Mather, F1® Senior Creative Director at Codemasters. “From the claustrophobia of sitting in the cockpit to the intensity of lights out as 20 cars accelerate towards the first corner. This is as close to Formula 1 racing as you can get without being on the actual grid.” Available for F1®, F2™, and supercars as part of F1® Life, players will finally be able to experience the race weekend from an entirely new perspective. Starting in the garage, watch the team work tirelessly before heading to the grid. Marvel at the intricate detail of the environment and feel the intensity and speed whilst fighting for the racing line in this season’s revolutionary new cars, complete with new physics and handling models.
