Cash Cleaner Simulator

Mind Control Games and publisher Forklift Interactive have announced Cash Cleaner Simulator launching on Xbox and PlayStation on 12th February 2026. This satisfying simulation title, which sold over 300,000 copies on Steam following its May 2025 release whilst achieving 90% ‘Very Positive’ review score, tasks players with transforming shady money into squeaky clean currency for increasingly questionable clients.

Steam Success Drives Console Expansion

The game’s strong PC performance demonstrates commercial viability before console investment, with the seven-month gap between Steam and console releases suggesting deliberate validation strategy. The 90% positive rating indicates mechanical execution resonating with simulation audiences seeking unconventional premises beyond typical farming or construction themes.

Mind Control Games CEO Leonid Gorbachev describes the appeal: “Cash Cleaner Simulator provides a break from the outside world with piles of cash and no deadlines or pressure.”

Cleaning and Organisation Mechanics

Players perfect their cleaning processes using various tools and machines before sorting and stacking newly fresh funds at personal pace. The washer and dryer enable mastered cleaning methods, UV lights hunt new storage spots, whilst furnaces provide disposal options for spare cash alongside warmth generation.

The laboratory setting contains the entire experience within a fully customisable base of operations. Players spend earned cryptocurrency on new tools, upgrades, and furnishings including paint jobs, greenery, furniture, and recreational activities like Moneyball hoops for downtime.

Mysterious Narrative Elements

Despite the relaxed pacing and lack of deadlines, Cash Cleaner Simulator incorporates narrative intrigue through environmental storytelling. The absence of exit points and secrets hidden in dark laboratory corners create investigative elements discovered through UV light exploration during night sequences.

This narrative layer elevates the experience beyond pure mechanical satisfaction, providing contextual mystery that rewards curious players willing to explore beyond assigned cleaning tasks.

Developer Philosophy

Dutch and Serbian indie developer Mind Control Games focuses on unconventional mechanics with strong graphics whilst tackling difficult topics. Their development process balances artistic vision with commercial viability—an approach validated by Cash Cleaner Simulator’s Steam performance.

Publisher Forklift Interactive, founded by industry veterans including former tinyBuild Publishing Director Andrei Podoprigora and Adult Swim Games Product Lead Tucker Dean, specialises in deep, endless, system-driven games with player-created narratives. This philosophy aligns with Cash Cleaner Simulator’s open-ended structure prioritising player agency over prescribed objectives.

Console Timing Strategy

The February 2026 console launch provides nine months post-Steam release for implementing feedback, optimising console controls, and refining systems based on PC player behaviour patterns. This cautious expansion approach minimises risk whilst capitalising on proven market demand.

Cash Cleaner Simulator targets simulation enthusiasts seeking unconventional premises with satisfying mechanical loops when it arrives on consoles next February.
