'Stranger Things' DLC for Minecraft Brings Comprehensive Skins of Show's Characters
Netflix original hit series "Stranger Things" has finally returned for a second season, and its impact and popularity seem to have gone beyond the four corners of the streaming giant.
According to a report from Polygon, sandbox video game "Minecraft" has partnered with Netflix to come up with a new set of skins, featuring a comprehensive lineup of "Stranger Things" characters. The DLC is now up for download and also showcases a wide array of outfits that from seasons one and two of the sci-fi/fantasy series.
The pack includes practically all of the key characters, including Barb, who was taken into The Upside Down in season 1. Also present are the four kids, Eleven, and the Demogorgon. "Hold onto your long blonde wigs, kids, because the whole cast is here! Break into a classified facility with Hopper, kick off some Dungeons and Dragons with Mike or heck, why not go totally telekinetic with Eleven?" read the DLC's official description.

Moreover, Gamespot reported that the images released on the "Minecraft" website may contain spoilers. It would be best if gamers got to see season 2 first before purchasing the DLC. The pack can be purchased for 490 coins via the Bedrock Engine platform found on the Minecraft Marketplace. It is likewise available for consoles and other platforms for $2.99.
Aside from the "Minecraft" DLC, another "Stranger Things" gimmick can also be enjoyed through Spotify. The music and video streaming giant last week released an Easter egg that turns the Spotify web player into The Upside Down. To activate the feature, users just need to open their account and play any track from "Stranger Things" soundtrack.
The screen will soon turn from the classic green and black Spotify colors into The Upside Down, complete with its dark setting full of floating spores plus a flashlight beam. As soon as the users move the mouse or the browser, the environment again returns to its original appearance.
