Car Wash Simulator Hits Early Access on August 10!

Hey everyone!

The date is set. Car Wash Simulator launches into Early Access on August 10, and I honestly can't wait to finally put it in your hands.

Early Access kicks off with two districts, Rent Hike Ridge and Havenwood, ten car washes to run, and six cars to work on. Every core mechanic is already in there: from exterior washing, tire blackening, and undercarriage cleaning to waxing, hydrophobic coatings, scratch removal, and full interior detailing. You'll also get the mini-games, driving, gangster contracts, timed jobs, the day-and-night cycle, and the whole car wash expansion system with respect points and XP. The full version will grow to four districts, twenty car washes, and ten cars, but you're not getting a stripped-down build on day one. This is the real game.

To make it crystal clear what's in Early Access and what's coming in the full version, I've put together a full comparison:

Everything you told me during the demo shaped this release, so thank you for all the feedback, reports, and reviews. It genuinely made the game better, and I hope you'll keep it coming in Early Access, because that's exactly what this phase is for.

Wishlist the game if you haven't yet, mark August 10 in your calendar, and I'll see you at the wash!
