Minecraft just got turned a little upside down with its latest addition. Available now in the Minecraft Marketplace is an official Stranger Things DLC, timed perfectly with the final season of the smash hit Netflix show.
Better yet, if you buy it before January 25, 2026, you'll also get yourself a free Hellfire Club t-shirt character creator item.
I'll be the first to admit, I've never really got Minecraft. But I've had a lot of fun playing some of the other DLCs with my son, like the tie-in with the Monsterverse Godzilla movies. As a huge Stranger Things fan, I'm definitely going to be picking this up, though.
"Each season of Netflix’s Stranger Things becomes its own thrilling quest as you embark on this open world adventure. Spawn right into the 1980s and experience an unsupervised childhood of walkie-talkies, arcades, and coke-floats. Then let’s head out to investigate the spine-chilling goings-on in town with the gang..."
Fortunately for those of us actively invested in not having the end spoiled, the Stranger Things DLC only seems to focus on the first four seasons of the show.
That means the Mind Flayer, the gate from Season 2, Starcourt Mall, Vecna, and, of course, the Upside Down.
All faithfully recreated in Minecraft's signature blocky style. From the screenshots on the announcement blog, I have to say, an early favorite is definitely blocky Murray. Who doesn't love Murray?!
The Stranger Things DLC is available on almost all modern platforms Minecraft is currently available on. It's fairly intensive and requires at least 6GB of RAM, and, as such, is not available to players on the Nintendo Switch.
The Switch 2 should be fine given it has more available RAM for games, but the original version is out for now. The same goes for mobile devices, if you're playing on a phone or tablet, you need to have at least 6GB of RAM.
Grab the Stranger Things DLC right now from the Minecraft Marketplace, just in time for the Season 5 grand finale.
