FuturLab ends VR support for PowerWash Simulator
pcgamesinsider.bizDeveloper FuturLab is no longer supporting the virtual reality version of PowerWash Simulator.
In a post on BlueSky, studio CEO Kirsty Rigden said that while the company fully believes in VR, it was losing money on the platforms it was working with – FuturLab isn't specific here, but PowerWash Simulator VR was out on Meta's Quest 2, 3 and Pro headsets.
"We have been faced with a crossroads: 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," Rigden wrote.
"We took the decision 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 know that if you were in my position you would have made the same decision."
PowerWash Simulator launched in 2021 and has amassed over 12 million players since. The virtual reality edition of the game came out in November 2023.
