PowerWash Simulator 2 is out with a Star Wars pack DLC released July 16, 2026, while developer FuturLab has canceled an unannounced project and lost seven staff. The studio says it is focusing on PowerWash Simulator 2 and continuing to prototype new games.
PowerWash Simulator 2 shipped with 38 jobs, a customizable home base, and co-op support: two-player split-screen and up to four-player online. FuturLab's current priority is the sequel, which it confirmed as its near-term focus after the studio's plans shifted in 2026.
The series' licensed expansion arrived as a Star Wars pack, announced for July 16 and released on that date in 2026. FuturLab produced the pack with Lucasfilm Games. It costs 1,100 yen and is available on Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Players act as a custom Class 5 labor droid named P0-W2, cleaning with a high-pressure washer and Star Wars-themed equipment. The six jobs are the Lars homestead, the Mos Eisley Cantina, the AT-AT "Blizzard 3," the bridge of an Executor-class Super Star Destroyer, the X-wing "Red 2," and the Millennium Falcon. Each restores a scene from the original trilogy, from clearing sand at the Tatooine homestead to polishing the cantina after the Han Solo and Greedo incident.
In September 2026, FuturLab canceled an unannounced project that had been in development for two to three years, and seven staff left the company. CEO Kirsty Rigden confirmed the cancellation, saying the project was in preproduction and its costs would exceed expected revenue. The cancellation reverses FuturLab's stated goal of not being a PowerWash-only studio, pulling the company back toward the series.
