Stranger Things Officially Returns This Summer With A Brand-New Release

Stranger Things Officially Returns This Summer With A Brand-New Release

Despite being one of the most successful and most loved television shows of all time, Stranger Things is yet to make its way to the gaming sphere, which is quite the surprise considering how much money it could make the studios that decided to pick it up. There is no doubt that thousands of fans would love the opportunity to explore Hawkins in an RPG, or better yet, a survival horror game, but at the time of writing, Stranger Things remains solely Netflix’s biggest television show.

However, all of that is set to change this summer as company Raw Thrills has announced that it is teaming up with Netflix to release Stranger Things Arcade. As you can probably imagine from its title, this is an arcade game inspired by the events of Stranger Things, accommodating 1–4 players as they explore Hawkins, battling Demogorgons, Demobats, Demodogs and, of course, Vecna, along the way.

Appearing at Dave & Busters locations around North America (via Arcade Heroes), Stranger Things Arcade is a whopping 118″ x 94″ x 104″ (HxWxD) in size and uses a 86″ 4K monitor. It also features buttons and payment slots suited for two groups of two, with an overall total of four players being able to dive into the action and even go head-to-head.

Stranger Things Arcade™ is an electrifying new arcade game for 1-4 players from Raw Thrills, inspired by the hit Netflix series, Stranger Things. We are turning arcades upside down with this new arcade game. This family-friendly masterpiece invites players of all ages to battle Demogorgons, Demobats, Demodogs, and Vecna himself, in a high-energy, ball-throwing quest featuring the show’s iconic characters, locations, and haunting soundtrack. Engineered for maximum uptime, the cabinet boasts the proprietary Thrill-Scan™ ball sensing system for pinpoint accuracy. Hang out with the gang in Hawkins!

Luckily, we have been treated to some screenshots of Stranger Things Arcade in action which are littered throughout this story, and there is no denying that some of the most iconic monsters from the television show are about to make your life hell when the arcade game launches in arcades this summer. We also know that some beloved characters will be playable, including Max, Mike, and Will, and perhaps most excitingly, there will be cinematics implemented, with one example showing Vecna attacking Eleven.

In this ball-throwing arcade game, you will be treated to all of Stranger Things’ most iconic locations, characters, and enemies, and there is no denying that this will be the perfect way to spend your summers.

Yes, Apple Is Reportedly Retooling Some Liquid Glass Problems for macOS 27<img src="https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2025/06/Apple-Liquid-Glass-UI-1280x960.jpg" /><br><div> <p class="p2">By providing a needed security patch to an older version of iOS last month, Apple tacitly—but unofficially—<a href="https://gizmodo.com/apple-offers-rare-olive-branch-to-liquid-glass-haters-2000740653">acknowledged that avoiding the Liquid Glass aesthetic is a valid choice</a>.</p> <p class="p2">Now, according to anonymous sources who spoke to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, an upcoming update <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2026-05-10/apple-plans-macos-27-design-changes-latest-on-ios-27-visionos-safari-wwdc-26-mozuaz9m?srnd=undefined">will address problems with Liquid Glass in macOS 26</a>. If you haven’t updated because you hate it, or are worried the design flaws make it unusable, you are seen.</p> <p class="p2">Gurman writes that Apple “is preparing what people internally consider to be a ‘slight redesign’ for macOS 27,” and that the company is looking to fix, “shadows and transparency quirks.”</p> <p class="p2">Gurman’s sources sound a bit defensive, however. They tell him the Liquid Glass update “didn’t necessarily suffer from design problems,” but instead had “a not-completely-baked implementation from Apple’s software engineering team.” The fixes, then, are supposed to “make Liquid Glass look the way Apple’s design team intended it to from the start.” Got it? The designers thought everything through from the beginning, but the artless neanderthals who built their designs into software—this thinking goes—let them down.</p> <p class="p2">My first impression was that it was overly generous of Gurman to give voice to this framing of the Liquid Glass story, but I have to admit that it’s also a genuinely plausible explanation for just how hated the design scheme ended up being.</p> <p class="p2">For instance, while Apple has already chipped away at some of the bigger problems, Tahoe shipped with some issues that were beyond annoying and actually interfered with usability, particularly for low vision people. Before the 26.3 update in February, as <a href="https://osxdaily.com/2026/02/13/reduce-transparency-works-again-in-macos-tahoe-26-3/">OS X Daily noted</a>, choosing the option to reduce transparency “would leave considerable transparent effects, including in sidebars, headers, titlebars, search boxes, and more, leading to situations where text would overlap and interface elements would be washed out with blurry colors and interface elements.”</p> <p class="p2">Then again, some designs were heavily criticized on an aesthetic basis, not as <i>bad implementation</i>. There’s probably no bigger Apple fan than John Gruber of Daring Fireball, and his take on the redesign of some of the icons was <a href="https://daringfireball.net/2025/08/macos_26_tahoes_dead_canary_utility_app_icons">scorching</a>: “I don’t think the old icons for these apps from MacOS 15 were particularly good — Apple has mostly lost its “<a href="https://mastodon.social/@BasicAppleGuy/115050148901528749">icons</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/@BasicAppleGuy/115072885331562510">look</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/@BasicAppleGuy/114948306713250918">cool</a>” game. But the new ones in MacOS 26 Tahoe are objectively terrible.”</p> <p class="p2">Gurman has claimed in the past that Liquid Glass is sort of a long game, rolled out in advance of the release of the 20th anniversary iPhone, which he expects to be a huge design milestone for Apple. Supposedly, that phone’s overall vibe will benefit from Liquid Glass. When all is revealed, maybe the world will agree.</p> <p class="p2">In the meantime, macOS is getting some tweaks, and we should expect, Gurman says, “more of a cleanup and refinement effort aligned with the company’s wider push to polish its software this year.”</p> </div>#Apple #Reportedly #Retooling #Liquid #Glass #Problems #macOSApple,Liquid Glass,macos 27
