In a crossover that few saw coming, Lucasfilm Games and FuturLab have announced a brand-new collaboration: a dedicated Star Wars DLC pack for PowerWash Simulator 2. Set to launch this summer, the expansion brings the high-stakes aesthetic of a galaxy far, far away to the surprisingly therapeutic world of pressurized cleaning.
From Tatooine to the Death Star
The upcoming DLC will allow players to scrub grime off iconic locations from the original Star Wars trilogy. While specific gameplay details remain under wraps, the announcement trailer hints at several legendary settings:
- The frozen wastes of Hoth
- The Lars Homestead on Tatooine
- Imperial Destroyers and Rebel Cruisers
The expansion aims to bring a sense of immersion to the cleaning process by casting players in a specific role. Rather than a standard human worker, players will take on the identity of P0-W2, a Class Five cleaning droid. This thematic shift suggests that the DLC may include bespoke tools or even astromech-inspired helpers to navigate the unique environments of the Star Wars universe.
Availability and Platform Support
While a specific release date and pricing structure have not yet been disclosed, the Star Wars pack is confirmed to arrive on all major platforms where PowerWash Simulator 2 is currently available, including:
- PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store)
- Xbox Series X|S
- PlayStation 5 (including support for the PS5 Pro)
- Nintendo Switch 2
A Growing Trend of “Oddball” Collaborations
This announcement follows a recent pattern for PowerWash Simulator 2. Earlier this month, the game released an Adventure Time level pack, signaling a post-launch strategy built on “offbeat” crossovers.
By partnering with massive IPs like Star Wars, the developers are leaning into the “cozy gaming” trend—using familiar, beloved worlds to provide relaxing, low-stress gameplay experiences. This strategy helps expand the game’s reach beyond niche simulation fans and into broader pop-culture audiences.
As with the base game, the DLC will support both solo play and cooperative modes, allowing players to clean the galaxy together either locally or online.
The Star Wars expansion marks a significant step in the game’s post-launch evolution, blending massive cinematic scale with the tranquil, methodical gameplay that has made the series a hit.
