Sony has announced its PlayStation Plus monthly lineup for November, and it includes a day-one release for an all-new Death Note game. As shared by PlayStation, PS Plus subscribers on the Premium, Extra, and Essential tiers will be able to play the game on the following three games from November 5th: Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 - Turbocharged, Ghostwire: Tokyo, and Death Note Killer Within.
The standout here is Death Note Killer Within, which Bandai Namco only announced recently. It is described as the "first-ever social deduction game based on the legendary anime series".

How Will The New Death Note Game Work
The new online game comes with support for cross-play and will see around 10 players face a choice between life and death.
"Split into two teams, players must uncover each other’s identities to eliminate L or seize the Death Note from Kira," reads the official blurb. "Kira and L are equally matched, each hiding their true identity while battling for control over the game. Engage in a game of wits either as Kira and his follower, or L and the investigators, as both sides vie for the hidden Death Note, leading to a thrilling showdown of truth and deception until one team prevails."
Players will be able to take on the role of Kira, L, Kira Follower, or Investigator on the game's release, with each role offering the chance to experience "unique gameplay characteristics." Moreover, the game will also be arriving on PC via Steam on November 5th.
As a reminder, PlayStation Plus members only have until November 4th to add October’s offerings - WWE 2K24, Dead Space, and Doki Doki Literature Club Plus - to their libraries.

PlayStation Star Reward Points Will Now Only Last For a Year
Sony has brought a number of changes to its PlayStation Stars reward program which, among other things, will see earned points expire after a year instead of the 24 months they remained available previously.
PlayStation Stars, which was launched in October 2022 in the UK, is a part of the PlayStation App on mobile and rewards points based on the amount of money users spend in the PlayStation Store, as well as for completing in-app challenges. Points can then be redeemed against digital rewards, including “collectibles” and store credit.
As of March 2025, Sony is making changes to its definition of “eligible purchases,” which means payments for subscription services such as PlayStation Plus, will no longer churn Start points. Moreover, earned PlayStation Stars points will soon be required to be spent much sooner.
