If you've been sleeping on PowerWash Simulator's crossover DLC packs, your window is closing fast. Developer FuturLab has confirmed that both the Final Fantasy 7 Midgar pack and the Tomb Raider pack will be delisted from all storefronts on May 19. The good news: both are completely free to claim right now on Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
What you're losing access to after May 19
The Midgar Special Pack is genuinely one of the more fun crossover DLC sets the game has ever had. You get to hose down a Scorpion Sentinel, scrub Cloud's Daytona Hauler motorbike, clean a Shinra Hauler, tackle the Airbuster, and get Tifa's Seventh Heaven bar looking respectable again. For Final Fantasy 7 fans, it's a low-key delight.
The Tomb Raider pack takes a different angle, setting you loose on Croft Manor. You're cleaning the exterior, washing Lara Croft's boat, and tidying up her artifact display rooms. Relaxing, slightly absurd, and exactly the kind of content that made PowerWash Simulator a word-of-mouth hit in the first place.
Anyone who already owns either pack keeps full access after the delisting. This only affects new purchases.

Both DLC packs are free to claim until May 19. If you own PowerWash Simulator on any supported platform, there's no reason not to grab them before the deadline.
Why FuturLab is pulling the packs
The delisting ties directly to the end of FuturLab's publishing relationship with Square Enix. PowerWash Simulator originally launched under Square Enix's Collective program, a label designed to support promising indie developers with visibility and publishing infrastructure. The partnership worked well by all accounts, but FuturLab always had self-publishing as the long-term goal.
"We had a really good relationship with them; it was very collaborative," FuturLab CEO Kirsty Rigden told GamesIndustry.biz earlier this year. "They let us lead a lot on marketing. We did a lot of the work ourselves, because we knew the game better, and they amplified it and helped where necessary. They were great, but ultimately we wanted to move into self-publishing as our long-term strategy."
The success of the first game made that transition possible. FuturLab self-published PowerWash Simulator 2 in October 2025, and the sequel earned two BAFTA nominations: one for best family game and one for best British game. That's a long way from a niche pressure-washing sim.

The bigger picture for your game library
Here's the thing about DLC delistings: they're one of those situations where procrastinating actually costs you something. These packs cost nothing, take minutes to claim, and sit in your library permanently once added. The only scenario where you lose out is by ignoring the deadline.
For players who haven't touched PowerWash Simulator in a while, this is also a reasonable excuse to revisit it, especially with the sequel now out. The franchise has built a reputation for exactly this kind of low-pressure, oddly satisfying content, and the crossover packs are some of the best examples of why it works.
You'll want to add both packs to your library well before May 19. Check out the latest gaming news for any further updates on FuturLab's plans post-Square Enix, and keep an eye on what the studio does next as a fully independent publisher. Their BAFTA nominations suggest the sequel is worth your time too, if you haven't already made the jump to browse more reviews and see how it stacks up.
