PowerWash Simulator is turning into a surprise hit for players either exploring it on Game Pass or from seeing all the social media hype. It’s an incredibly satisfying simulator you can enjoy with friends, so what’s not to love? The answer to that is the bane of any game’s existence, bugs, and errors causing frustration for players. While it’s still easy to pull up the game and enjoy, there are a handful of errors causing multiplayer not to work in PowerWash Simulator. It, appears the developers are aware and working on them as we speak.
How to Fix Powerwash Simulator Multiplayer Not Working | All Common Issues and Errors
The most common issue being cited is that the game is crashing for non-host Xbox players during co-op sessions. It can also cause crashes on Xbox Series X consoles when trying to enable co-op, but this issue is a little bit less widespread.  FuturLab, the developers, are aware of the crashing concerns and have noted that non-host players joining sessions who look directly into the sun while moving can experience particularly high crash rates, and they’re working on a hotfix.
We're working on a fix as fast as we can, aim to have it out by end of next week. Non host players looking directly into the sun and moving can crash. Sorry in the meantime.

While the reasons aren’t immediately clear why hosts are having trouble enabling co-op, the reason for crashing when looking into the sun has to do with the lens flare when being played on the Xbox consoles, meaning it’ll likely be an easy fix regarding light and rendering optimization. But until then, keep away from looking into the sun while moving, even though realistically that should be an easy thing to manage.
There is a workaround for now, we'll look into it further: pic.twitter.com/iALuZFvea5
