A fresh content pack for the sea‑born phenomenon in FuturLab’s Power Wash Simulator arrives with a promise. Players can pack their gear, suit up in something stylish, and venture to SpongeBob’s iconic home in Bikini Bottom. The SquarePants Special Pack is described as a compact mini‑campaign for high‑pressure cleaning enthusiasts, offering roughly six stages drawn from the TV series. The release window stretches across June to September, but an exact launch date has not been officially announced.
Who lives in the pineapple under the sea?
Studio previews list locations like Crustaceous Krab, La Calle Concha, and other familiar settings. The visuals themselves reflect a distinctive shift from the animated show, ensuring the new content feels fresh rather than visually awkward while still honoring the SpongeBob universe.
A key question arises about underwater cleaning with a pressure washer. Why stage scenarios set in the underwater world where the characters typically maintain cleanliness? What happened to SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, Sandy, and even Plankton? Are players expected to complete objectives in this underwater world? The answers will unfold as players explore the new content.
Changes with SpongeBob
Although FuturLab develops Power Wash Simulator, the game is part of the Square Enix family, which is reflected in the new content packs. The game already includes licensed episodes like cleaning Lara Croft’s mansion from Tomb Raider or tackling sequences inspired by Final Fantasy VII Remake, which explores parts of the untold story for the characters involved.
The collaboration with Nickelodeon signals a long life for the format, starting with SpongeBob and potentially other brands. Whether the deal covers only character and setting licenses or opens doors to additional crossovers with franchises such as Danny Phantom or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles remains to be confirmed. The options for future partnerships are wide open.
If players lack direct game references, they can still operate a virtual pressure‑cleaning business within Power Wash Simulator and tackle dirt and grime wherever it appears. The simulation has proved especially popular on PC, boasting a strong Steam reception and strong momentum in recent months.
A zen moment for a 7‑million‑player audience
Power Wash Simulator has surprised many by turning a quiet cleaning sim into a global success. Distributed by Square Enix last September, the game quickly grew from a few million players to a much larger audience within months.
Kirsty Rigden, the creator of Power Wash Simulator and head of Futurlab, expressed gratitude on social media: With over 7 million players, people are finding their calm through this soothing cleaning experience. The community’s energy is evident. Since its Early Access launch, the supportive response to this comforting sim has been overwhelming.
