Sony has unveiled the PlayStation Plus Essential Tier games for November 2024, featuring titles such as GhostWire: Tokyo, Death Note: Killer Within, and Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged.

Death Note: Killer Within, a social deduction game developed by Grounding Inc. and published by Bandai Namco, allows up to 10 players to form teams and engage in a battle of wits to identify opponents and eliminate key characters.

This game will also be available on PC, launching simultaneously with its console release.

GhostWire: Tokyo has garnered a solid 82 rating on Metacritic, although its first-person perspective and horror elements may not appeal to all gamers.

Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged has received an 8/10 rating from IGN, praised for its graphics and arcade-style racing, though it may not cater to a wide audience.

While the PS Plus service has generally performed well, there are concerns about sustaining player interest due to inconsistent game releases.

GhostWire: Tokyo is an open-world action game set in a supernatural version of Tokyo, where players combat occult forces and explore urban legends.

Despite speculation about a sequel, the future of the GhostWire: Tokyo franchise remains uncertain following the closure of Tango Gameworks by Microsoft, although the studio has since been acquired by Krafton.

GhostWire: Tokyo, typically priced at $60, is currently available for $15 and will be free for PS Plus members.

Fans have expressed mixed reactions to the new Death Note game, with some finding the concept fun while others have described it as 'weird af'.

In addition to the new titles, classic horror games have been added to the PS Plus service, enhancing the catalog for horror enthusiasts.

Games offered through PlayStation Plus Essential remain accessible as long as members maintain an active subscription, with access ending if the subscription is canceled.
