Simply put, yes it is possible to play PowerWash Simulator with friends. Up to six players can work together to clean houses, parks, vans and giant plastic dinosaurs. If you enjoy power washing and want a game to play while having a nice catch-up chat with some friends, PowerWash Simulator is right for you.

Better still, PowerWash Simulator supports crossplay between the PC and Xbox versions of the game. Regardless of where you and your friends play the game, you can play it together. Being on Xbox Gamepass makes this all the more possible, as anyone subscribed on either Xbox or PC has access to the game.

The topic of local co-op, or split screen play, is often brought up when talking about casually enjoyable games like this one. Unfortunately, there is no current native support for local split screen play in PowerWash Simulator.

However, as with most things, there are ways around this. It is possible to play local split screen on PC by using Nucleus Co-Op. This free app can be downloaded from their website, and by simply adding PowerWash Simulator and running it from there, you can play split screen multiplayer. The game is supported by Nucleus already so no extra work needs to be done. This process may not be official, but it is simple and it works well.

That is everything you need to know to start playing some PowerWash Simulator split screen co-op. For more on the game, why not check out how to stop PowerWash Simulator crashing.
