2. Science has shown that virtual power washing can actually improve your mood.

An Oxford University study showed that playing the eponymous game Powerwash Simulator (PWS) showed a small improvement in the moods of more than 70% of its participants.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/c2/2e/c22ecd6b-9412-4701-b914-97051141e207/content/images/icon/apple-touch-icon-2.png)New AtlasSquare Enix![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/c2/2e/c22ecd6b-9412-4701-b914-97051141e207/content/images/thumbnail/90)](https://newatlas.com/mental-health/power-wash-video-game-improved-moods/?ref=mattrutherford.co.uk)
