Update 0.4 has arrived for PowerWash Simulator, and here’s the full list of changes and fixes added with this patch.

The first big content update since the game got released to early access just got released today for PowerWash Simulator, one of the most satisfying games you can play right now. It’s game where you basically clean dirt from different environments with your power washer in order to get more money so you can buy either other power washers, cleaning liquids or other minor upgrades. The content updates includes new levels, a new game mode, some quality of life changes and bug fixes. In addition to all these changes they also fixed 2 major problems some players were having including a possible save data corruption if the game suddenly crashed and the inability to clean any dirt if you were playing on a low-end PC.

Here’s everything new with PowerWash Simulator update 0.4.
