Everything is better with friends, and the new PowerWash Simulator is no exception to that adage. Sure, you can run your power washing business by yourself, completing job after job on your own. That’s entertaining enough in this addictive recreation of real life, but there’s also multiplayer, so why not generate a room code and invite your friends to join the co-op fun?
This Power Wash Simulator tutorial will show you how to invite friends for online co-op, generate codes for cross play co-op sessions, and join lobbies while in-game. It’s worth noting that three of the game’s four modes support online multiplayer:
. Career Mode (1-2 players)
. Specials Mode (1-6 players)
. Free Play Mode (1-6 players)
In Challenge Mode, co-op multiplayer is not available.
- How to Invite Friends
In order to host a game and invite friends to assist you in PowerWash Simulator, you must first complete a level. Open your tablet/main menu once you’ve logged in. The co-op multiplayer toggle and lobby settings drop-down menu can be found in the top left corner. Co-op is disabled by default, but you can enable it by clicking the button between the figures holding powerwashers.
However, before enabling co-op, use the lobby settings drop-down menu to select friends only or crossplay to join players only on PC or those across PC and Xbox platforms, respectively. You’ll have to turn off co-op to change these settings, so doing so ahead of time will save you some time.

Click “Invite Friend” in the upper right corner of the screen if friends-only cooperative multiplayer is enabled. This will display your Xbox/Game Pass friend list, from which you can select a player to invite.
- How to Generate a Room Code
Click “Invite Friend” in the upper right corner of the screen if crossplay cooperative multiplayer is enabled. This will open a text box with a unique room code that you can share with your friends so they can join your session.
- How to Join Friends
While playing a level, you can join a friend’s co-op multiplayer lobby, or from the main menu before loading into a level.
Select a multiplayer mode from the main menu (Career Mode, Specials Mode, or Free Play Mode), then click the “Join a Player’s Co-Op Game” button in the top right. If you’re already in a level, open your tablet/menu and click the same button in the upper right corner.

A box will appear, displaying your current playing friends. If you don’t have any friends who are also playing Power Wash Simulator, it will be empty.
- How to Use a Room Code
In this same box, you can enter a room code provided by a friend. In the top right corner, click the “Cross-Platform Play” tab, paste the code into the empty field, and then click the “Join” button beneath the field.
Unfortunately, without a cross play room code, there is no way to join random players or have random players join your sessions. Given the game’s popularity so close to launch, that may be added in the future. For more information on Power Wash.
