For years, the simulator genre has stuck to a predictable script: farming, trucking, city-building. But every now and then, a title drops that completely redefines the playbook. Enter **Cash Cleaner Simulator**, now making its console debut on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, following a "Very Positive" reception on PC via Steam last year. This isn't your grandma's cozy sim; this is about scrubbing evidence and making ill-gotten gains sparkle. And honestly, it’s a brilliant, strangely relaxing take on criminal enterprise.
A Deep Dive into Dirty Money
Mind Control Games, published by Forklift Interactive, has cooked up an experience that casts you as a low-level underworld specialist. Your mission? To meticulously clean suspicious cash deliveries. Whether it arrives in duffel bags, crates, or stashed within furniture, every bundle of bills demands careful attention. We're talking dirt, blood, counterfeit detection, and repairing damaged notes—all before the loot can be counted and sent back to your shady contacts. It's a deliberately slow, methodical loop, but trust us, the satisfaction of turning filthy lucre into pristine stacks is oddly exhilarating. This game replaces car chases and shootouts with washing machines and UV lamps, and it absolutely works.
Building Your Criminal Empire
Success in the dirty money biz isn't just about elbow grease; it's about optimization. As your reputation grows and jobs flood in, you'll be upgrading your lab with specialized equipment. Think better washing machines, dryers, advanced counting machines, and UV scanners. These aren't just cosmetic changes; they enhance efficiency and unlock new service options. What we appreciate most, however, are the unique downtime moments. You can personalize your workspace, hunt for hidden secrets within your lab, or simply unwind between high-stakes cleaning gigs. It’s a simulator that smartly balances progression with a healthy dose of player curiosity. And yes, for the brave, there's always the option to skim a little off the top for yourself.
The Developer's Honest Take
Leonid Gorbachev, CEO of Mind Control Games, perfectly sums up the game's ethos: "It’s true that crime doesn’t pay, but making fun games about crime is a great way to make a living.” He adds, with a wink, “If you don’t buy Cash Cleaner Simulator on PlayStation and Xbox we all might have to go find work in shady underground labs ourselves.” A developer with a sense of humor? We love to see it.
LOUD AND LOADED DLC: More Ways to Get Rich
Alongside the console launch, the **LOUD AND LOADED DLC** also drops, available across Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. This isn't just a minor content bump; it brings new tools and playful extras to the table. Our favorite? The wonderfully ridiculous **Money Machine Gun**. Because if you're going to clean illicit cash, you might as well have a bit of over-the-top fun with it. This addition genuinely enhances the player's interaction with their burgeoning fortune.
Our Verdict: Uniquely Compelling
We've spent significant time with Cash Cleaner Simulator here at In Game News, awarding it a solid **4/5 review score**. While we noted that "Once you get accustomed to the controls, which at times feel a bit cumbersome, and as long as you are able to ignore some weird physics, Cash Cleaner Simulator is a game that you can easily spend dozens of hours in," its core appeal is undeniable. The very mechanics that can occasionally frustrate are precisely what ensure this game remains unique and incredibly fun. In an increasingly saturated simulator market, its fresh, slightly morally grey concept truly helps it stand out.
If you’re burnt out on traditional sims and craving something relaxing, quirky, and just a touch criminal, Cash Cleaner Simulator is absolutely worth getting your hands dirty for. Find it now on the Xbox Store, the PlayStation Store, and Steam.
