Can You Rebind Controls in PowerWash Simulator 2?
No, you can’t rebind controls in PowerWash Simulator 2. You’ll have to get used to either the modern or classic preset for both keyboard and mouse or controllers. It’s a bit of a letdown since there are plenty of functions, and it would’ve been nice to bind them to your liking.
