FuturLab has confirmed a new patch for PowerWash Simulator 2 is in testing and should roll out within the next couple of weeks, targeting some of the most frustrating bugs reported since its launch.
The headline fix is for a critical data loss issue that has been wiping player progress. In a game built around the satisfaction of 100% completion, losing hours of meticulous cleaning work is a huge problem, so seeing this prioritized is a major relief. The patch also aims to squash several other annoying bugs to smooth out the core experience.
What bugs are being fixed in the next patch?
Beyond the progress-destroying data loss bug, the update is bringing a handful of important quality-of-life improvements. Here’s what’s on the docket:
- Multiplayer Improvements: Connectivity and stability fixes are on the way to make co-op cleaning sessions with friends less prone to issues.
- In-Game Store Visibility: A fix is coming for a bug that prevented the in-game store from appearing correctly, which blocked players from spending their hard-earned cash on new equipment.
- Point Cap Changes: Adjustments are being made to the point cap system, though the specifics of how this will affect scoring and progression haven't been detailed yet.
- Steam Deck Support: For those playing on the go, resolution changes are planned to help PowerWash Simulator 2 move towards official Steam Deck Verification.
Key Rebinds Are Still Being Worked On
One of the most requested features, custom key rebinds, will not be in this upcoming patch. The developers have acknowledged the demand but stated that the feature is still in development and isn't ready for release. While it's a bummer for players waiting for better accessibility and control customization, it's good to know it remains on their radar for a future update.
Are key rebinds coming to PowerWash Simulator 2 soon?
Not in the next patch. FuturLab has confirmed key rebinds are in active development but did not provide a new timeline for their release. For now, players will have to stick with the default control schemes.
Overall, this looks like a solid maintenance patch focused on fixing the most disruptive problems first. Getting rid of data loss and multiplayer bugs will go a long way toward making the satisfying gameplay loop feel more stable and rewarding.
