If you’re a fan of Stranger Things on Netflix – and, let’s face it, who isn’t? Then, you’ll be pleased to know that the Stranger Things 3 game just launched on Xbox One. You get the entire cast of characters in exactly the same settings as the series. So, grab your favorite gaming headset for Xbox One and let’s get this tubular party started!

The much anticipated third season of Stranger Things only launched on July 4th, 2019. And, if you have watched the show, you’ll see the various plots tie in with the holiday nicely.

Plus, if you’re like most super fans – this season hit you hard in the feels. At the same time, Hopper became everyone’s favorite dad – complete with dad bod and corny shirts.

So, why wouldn’t you want to continue to funky ride by playing it on Xbox One. If you’ve always dreamed of shopping at Starcourt Mall – and defeating some bad guys in the process, now you can.

What’s nice about the game is it features local co-op and is quite affordable retailing for $20 on the Microsoft Store. Instead of waiting another year or so for Stranger Things 4, just create your own story within the popular show.

What’s more is this has been listed as the official companion game to the hit series. You’ll get to play through familiar events, but also discover new quests, secrets, and character interactions. You know how some shows and movies have “director’s cuts” or “uncut” versions? Well, playing the Stranger Things 3 game is like that – but, so much better.

If you can’t get this song out of your head, it really is like the Neverending Story. Play it with your favorite summer gadgets, and you’ll have something fun to do all season long.

Within the game, you have twelve heroes to choose from. This means there is unending variety for interactions, battles, quests, secrets, plots, and more.

In addition, it only takes 1GB of space on your Xbox One. As a result, you still have plenty of space for all your other games.

Remember when Dustin spent hours trying to contact Suzie poo in Utah. He said she was hotter than 80s icon, Phoebe Cates. That is truly high praise. And, he used is homemade Cerebro to do it. Naturally, his friends didn’t believe there was an actual Suzie until later. Now, you can call your version of Suzie in the Stranger Things 3 Game!

Or, what about the scenes when Mad Max took El shopping? Need something cute from the Gap? Hey, who doesn’t?

Now, the game does not have an online co-op, so you’ll have to meet your friends in person to play this way. But, that just makes it so much more realistic. Can you imagine the Hawkins crew doing all their heroic deeds without actually meeting in person? Remember, the Internet wasn’t widespread in the 80s anyway.

The game was launched so quickly because the designers were given access to the show’s scripts. So, if you haven’t seen all of season three, there will be spoilers within the game.

The game is developed by BonusXP, the same company who developed the Stranger Things mobile game after the release of Stranger Things 2. You even get to make your own body armor, and you get points for doing so. Even the combat aspect has an 80s vibe to it, similar to the likes of Double Dragon. And, you can unlock various parts of the game with specific characters.
