S-tier

• Far Cry 6
• Dead by Daylight

The S-tier consists of only two entries. This is because these games have dedicated missions that take players into the world of Stranger Things in-game. In Far Cry 6, players can enjoy the mission titled The Vanishing. In this mission, you play as Dani Rojas, who is tasked with finding some guerrillas who went dark during a mission.

When Dani arrives at their last known location, he discovers a secret lab running mysterious tests. After killing several members of the opposing forces, he manages to go deeper into the lab's premises only to wind up in the Upside Down, as seen in Stranger Things. All the elements of the show are perfectly portrayed in the game, and The Vanishing, being a dedicated interactive mission, makes it an S-tier gameplay crossover.

Apart from that, Dead by Daylight has a dedicated DLC known as the Stranger Things chapter, where you can play as either Steve Harrington or Nancy Wheeler, who must fight the Demogorgon underneath the Hawkins National Library. This is yet another brilliant interactive experience for players who love the horror genre in gaming and Stranger Things.

Furthermore, the Dead by Daylight x Stranger Things Chapter 2 is set to arrive in January 2026, making this crossover even more worthy of the S-tier ranking.

A-tier

• Borderlands 3
• Shadow Warrior 2
• Kingdom Rush 5
• Fortnite
• Roblox
• Rocket League

These are some interesting and interactive references to the Stranger Things story and universe, as opposed to full-blown crossovers as seen in the S-tier games. However, these are still instances where the show's features have crossed over into games.

In Borderlands 3, you can go to The Droughts in Pandora and explore the area. In this zone, you will find a strange-looking skag named Demoskaggon. This is a modified version of a Skag, which looks like a Demogorgon youngling as seen in the Netflix show.

Killing it can yield interesting drops such as the unique Reflexive Night Hawkin gun, which has a description that references Stranger Things. This is yet another interactive game feature, but it is not as massive as the S-tier games.

In Shadow Warrior 2, the Side Mission Stop the Propaganda may lead you to a secret underground location straight into the mouth of the Upside Down, as seen by David Harbor's Jim Hopper in Season 1. This is a very small section of the map, but it is still an interactive zone that you can explore.

Kingdom Rush 5 pays homage to Eddie Munson by replicating an iconic scene from the rather enjoyable show. While players can watch it happen, there isn't much space for interaction.

Finally, Fortnite, Roblox, and Rocket League have all previously featured collaborations with Stranger Things, wherein players were able to purchase cosmetics or skins referencing the show. Fortnite even included map features leading to the Upside Down.

B-tier

• Borderlands 2
• Zombie Army 4
• The Division 2

Finally, Borderlands 2 and Zombie Army 4 sit in the B-tier of the crossover list. This is because the universe and concept of Stranger Things can be seen in these games at a certain point.

In Borderlands 2, you can go to the Mt. Scarab Research Center in Fight For Sanctuary. Going up the stairs in this area will take you to a cell with the number '11' written outside and a box of Eggos on the inside. This is a clever reference to Millie Bobby Brown's popular character, 11, and her favorite snack in the show.

Zombie Army 4 also takes players back to the very first season of the show. In the game, you can explore The Shadow of Venice, Chapter 3, where a set of strange Christmas lights can be found hanging on the wall, each light assigned to a letter. This is yet another reference to the show; it is somewhat interactive as you can blow the bulbs to spell the word "Brains," and it'll open up a safe.

Finally, in Tom Clancy's The Division 2, you can explore the captive scientist's cell during the Coney Island Ballpark mission and find a reference to Alexei from Season 3.

These are all the Stranger Things crossovers and easter eggs found in video games, ranked based on how interesting and interactive they were in-game. Generally, interactive map features or missions are more popular for players as they allow them to walk in the world of Hawkins.
