On January 13th, 2025, FuturLab, the developers, made an announcement concerning the future of their casual simulation game, PowerWash Simulator, on the VR platform. Since its launch in Meta Quest Store in November 2023, PowerWash Simulator VR has been accessible for over a year, but FuturLab has declared they will cease providing updates and support for the VR version of the game.
The formal announcement regarding this matter was shared on the official Twitter page of PowerWash Simulator. In this post, they clarified their reasons for this decision and also mentioned that, at present, they can’t continue providing support for the game.

As per FuturLab CEO Kirsty Rigden’s statement, the studio will no longer be able to maintain support for PowerWash Simulator VR due to numerous difficulties encountered with Virtual Reality platforms. Not only does the upkeep of PowerWash Simulator VR drain the studio financially, exceeding its earnings, but they are also focusing on staffing positions for other projects currently underway.
We found ourselves at a crucial juncture. Our Virtual Reality (VR) team, who are outstanding and compassionate, were working on a project that was costing us more than it was earning. At the same time, we had job vacancies on other projects. We chose to reassign our VR team to those open positions.
In simpler terms, the CEO of FuturLab explained that even though they would like to carry on supporting PowerWash Simulator across all platforms, she emphasized that prioritizing job security for her team was crucial. She acknowledged that this decision might be disheartening for VR players, but it’s probable that players in similar situations would make the same call. FuturLab collaborated with experienced developer and publisher nDreams on PowerWash Simulator VR, leveraging their expertise in virtual reality to deliver an exceptional VR experience for Power Washers.
