Stranger Things 3: The Game includes a total of 12 characters for players to unlock and knock about in Hawkins with. You’ll start with only two of them unlocked however, and getting the rest will need you to fulfil certain requirements. Most of these are pretty simple, and only need you to blast through the main missions, but a few will task you with some more challenging missions. In this guide we’ll explain how to unlock all playable characters in Stranger Things 3: The Game.
How To Unlock All Playable Characters In Stranger Things 3: The Game

We’ve listed them all below in the order you’re likely to unlock them as you play through the game. For most, it’ll simply be a case of playing through the main quests until you get access, but a few like Will ask you to find collectables instead.
