Acclaim and California-based indie studio Valadria have confirmed that Pixel Washer will be published for both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, the companies announced in a joint statement.
Pixel Washer is a cozy, retro-inspired power-washing sim that tasks players with cleaning a grimy pixelated town while enjoying chill soundtrack and satisfying audio feedback.

Publisher Acclaim has said it will handle the game's release on both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 platforms.
The announcement did not include a specific release date; the teams said they will share date and availability details when they are finalized.

Pixel Washer casts players as Pigxel, an anthropomorphic pig who dons stylish goggles to restore pixel art environments using a variety of power washers.
According to the developer overview, core features confirmed for the release include:
- Wash and restore: Use a power washer to remove grime and reveal detailed pixel art levels.
- Multiple locales: Explore six-plus distinct, dirty settings each with its own visual identity and cleaning challenges.
- Arsenal of washers: Unlock and choose from several power washers with unique spray patterns.
- Vehicles and economy: Earn money from jobs to purchase new vehicles to travel between gigs.
- Cozy presentation: A chill soundtrack and polished sound design that emphasize a relaxing, rewarding experience.
Platform context
The Nintendo Switch family has been a major platform for indie developers since the original Switch launched on March 3, 2017, offering distribution through Nintendo eShop and strong visibility in Nintendo Direct presentations.
The publisher's announcement explicitly lists both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 as target platforms for Pixel Washer; further platform-specific details, such as performance targets or eShop listing information, have not been published.
Trailer and next steps
