It’s hard to pick just one out of all the items in the list. Fans of the Netflix show could see the Mind Flayer come to an upside-down version of Rocket League’s Farmstead map. Players had a chance to make an automotive cosplay of Rocket League Trading beloved policeman Jim Hopper, the wise man behind the quote “mornings are for coffee and contemplation.” Other additions included a boost that plays a part of the show’s opening theme when triggered and the in-game title of “Demogorgon,” in honor of the show’s first antagonist. For Stranger Things fans, it was like playing a limited-time crossover episode between both franchises, and it was a welcome surprise for this year’s Halloween.
