PowerWash Simulator literally blasts Elon Musk's Twitter name change

PowerWash Simulator has very literally blasted the recent Twitter name change implemented by Elon Musk. As you've likely seen, on Saturday, July 22, Musk announced that Twitter would be rebranded to simply X. Indeed, the Twitter logo has now been changed and the domain 'X.com' now also directs to Twitter. A new, short video however, posted by PowerWash Simulator developer Futurlab, reflects how some social media users may have felt about the rebranding. This may be one of the most relaxing games, but it has no chill.

You’ll fit right in with the crowd as a true Bottomite, with a custom-designed gear that could rival even Sandy Cheeks’ best inventions. We’ve been ashore-d that your power washer will work just fine underwater, powered by advanced technology from the SpongeBob SquarePants universe: imagination.

Ten Achievements!

We’ve also added ten new achievements to fish for in this Special Pack.

[h3]FAQ[/h3]

The SpongeBob SquarePants Special Pack will retail at $7.99/€7.99/£6.49

How do I access the SpongeBob SquarePants Special Pack?

You can access the Special Pack through the in-game menu ‘Specials’ section or visit the store page
here https://store.steampowered.com/app/2236950/PowerWash_Simulator_SpongeBob_SquarePants_Special_Pack/

Will there be achievements?

Do I need the base game to play the DLC?

Yes, you need to own both the base game and DLC.

Does everyone in a multiplayer session need to own the DLC?

Yes, all players need it in their library to play.

PATCH 1.3


Alongside this DLC is a patch for the base game, including:

- Achievement Fixes
- As it was foretold
- First Steps
- Impeccable Balance
- Online stability updates
- Performance updates
- Various bug fixes

Known Issues and workarounds

-Clients in a multiplayer session will experience a crash if they are in the loadout screen while the host transitions to a different job
-We are continuing to investigate reports of problems with Steam Cloud saves

Issue with the audio settings that every time the game is closed the audio settings reset back to default even though they look unchanged in the Audio menu.

Workaround: reset them to defaults which then resets the slider to match the actual audio settings and you can manually adjust it once again. You will need to do this every time the game is exited and reloaded though. Sorry. We're investigating the issue further.

Scaffolding gets stuck

Workaround: load into another job and then load back into the Conch street job and the scaffolding becomes interactable again.

Have fun playing!
