The nightmare begins again. Just when you thought you’d scrubbed away the horrors, Crime Scene Cleaner drops its first major update, “Nightmare Update,” bringing twisted versions of every map, new gameplay mechanics, and the ultimate test for your cleaning skills.
A Haunting New Challenge
Cleaning up after the mafia was never meant to be easy, but Kovalsky’s nightmares are about to make everything worse. As he faces distorted crime scenes from his past, you’ll have to erase the blood-soaked chaos all over again — but this time, it’s more twisted than ever. Prepare for a descent into madness.
The Nightmare Update hits Steam on July 24, 2025, and consoles (Xbox Series X|S and PS5) on July 29, 2025, and it’s packing some major challenges.
What’s New in the Nightmare Update?
- 10 Nightmare Maps: The existing maps you’ve scrubbed clean before are now warped and filled with even more grotesque details. Each one features new mechanics that will push your cleaning skills to the limit. Are you ready to face the same rooms, but much worse?
- Challenge Mode: Ready to prove you’ve got what it takes? Complete these nightmare maps for exclusive cosmetic rewards, including special skins. It’s all about pushing through the madness for the ultimate prize.
- True Cleaner Mode: Think you’re a pro at cleaning? Think again. True Cleaner Mode strips away all your aids: no hints, no instincts, just pure unrelenting cleaning. Can you handle the pressure and leave the scene spotless without any help? This is the ultimate test of your skills.
