Players won’t need roads where they’re going but they will need their trusty virtual power washer to tackle the five new jobs included in this Special Pack, featuring the following iconic sets and props inspired by the trilogy:
 

  • Doc Brown’s Van

  • The Time Machine

  • Hill Valley Clocktower

  • The Holomax Theatre

  • Doc’s Time Train

 

Whether teaming up or taking on the dirt alone, players will find that time flies when they’re having fun!
 

“We are excited for players to experience these virtual film sets inspired by Back to the Future in PowerWash Simulator VR,” says Dan Chequer, FuturLab's Design Director, “The animations really shine in VR, from ducking under Doc’s Time Train as it takes off to dodging the shark hologram, it feels like you’ve stepped back in time and onto a real film set. With gorgeous scenery and immense detail, this pack is a real blast to clean.” 
 

“VR truly elevates the PowerWash Simulator and Back to the Future Special Pack,” says David Corless, VP of Publishing at nDreams. “There’s really no better way to experience the world of Back to the Future than through the futuristic tech of VR and the super satisfying gameplay of PowerWash Simulator VR.”
