We’ve been following the release of Pixel Washer, a new pixel art cleaning sim from developer Valadria and publisher Acclaim. When we last reported on it, a new trailer showcased some more game mechanics, and there was news that it would be released on Switch. Now, we have further news about the release schedule. Pixel Washer will launch into Steam Early Access on October 15th, 2026, with the Switch and Switch 2 ports coming in early 2027.
“What a genuine thrill to be working with Acclaim! I’ve been a fan for decades, so this feels surreal to me,” said Valadria founder Matt Hackett. “I had been working on Pixel Washer for many months “all by myself”, but then Acclaim signed on to help me make Pixel Washer much bigger and cooler than I could have on my own. I hope players are ready for a simple, relaxing game that’s easy to play and hard to put down. Oink!”
