FuturLab, the developers of PowerWash Simulator across PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch, announced they will be ending support of PowerWash Simulator VR.
The developer states they love and believe in VR but feel they are unable to continue with the support of PowerWash Simulator VR right now. They believe in VR and give hope about the possibility of returning to support it in the future.
Here is the statement from Kirsty Rigden, CEO of FuturLab:
“We have been faced with a cross roads: we have a truly excellent and kind VR team who were working on a platform which costs us more than it makes, while also having a list of job openings that were looking to be filled on other projects. We took the decition to redeploy our VR team into those other projects/roles.
Whilst I would love to live in a world where we could support PowerWash Simulator on every platform going, I will always choose job security for my team. Every time. While I know that you must be so disappointed, I also knowthat if you were in my position you would have made the same decision.”
This news comes a few days after FuturLab announced PowerWash Simulator will be getting a Wallace & Gromit Special Pack DLC in the future. The popular simulator has continued to bring more collaborations to the table every year including Shrek, SpongeBob, Alice in Wonderland, and more.
Can I Still Buy PowerWash Simulator VR?
While support is ending for PowerWash Simulator VR, players will still be able to purchase the game. Just don’t expect any more updates including DLC to be added to that version of the game. The VR version of PowerWash Simulator is available on the Meta Store for $24.99 USD.
