Update 1.2 for PowerWash Simulator 2 has officially arrived, bringing the first chapter of the Caldera Chronicles and a much-requested control overhaul. The headline addition is the Miniature Village, a free new level that challenges you to maintain your precision on a tiny scale while dealing with the usual heavy-duty grime.
The Miniature Village represents a creative shift in environmental design for PowerWash Simulator 2. Cleaning a scaled-down environment requires a different tactical approach than the sprawling industrial zones players are used to. It’s the perfect playground to test the new Key Rebinding feature, which finally allows for full input customization. Whether you’re looking to optimize your nozzle-switching speed or just want a more comfortable layout for long sessions, the control scheme is now entirely in your hands.
Beyond the new content, FuturLab has addressed several nagging bugs that were blocking completionists from their well-earned trophies. This patch includes specific fixes for the following achievements and interactions:
- Purr Bonding: Fixed tracking issues for cat-related objectives.
- Tea Time & Rise and Shine: Resolved interaction bugs in the Tea Time and Fun House jobs.
- General QoL: Improved UI stability and fixed various collision issues across several maps.
These fixes are a welcome sight for those of us who have been stuck at 99% completion due to a stubborn achievement trigger. The update also lays the technical groundwork for future DLC, ensuring the core systems are stable before the next major content drop. If you've been waiting for a reason to return to the wash-rack, the Miniature Village is a great excuse to get back to work.
