PlayStation introduces The Playerbase, scanning the biggest fans into blockbuster games, starting with Gran Turismo 7

For over 30 years, PlayStation has continued to look for ways to celebrate its gaming community, which has a vital role in PlayStation’s history and future. Today, PlayStation Australia is excited to offer an opportunity to bring some of its devoted fans even closer to the PlayStation experience.

PlayStation is introducing The Playerbase, a unique opportunity for PlayStation’s biggest fans to step into some of the biggest game worlds by having their likeness scanned and appear within a PlayStation game. The Playerbase will start with Gran Turismo 7, and will be looking to expand and include fans in additional PlayStation Studios titles in the near future.

This community program will be available in select markets in the Americas, Europe, Asia, South Africa, and Australia.

For more details, including the official rules, and to submit an application for The Playerbase, visit playstation.com/the-playerbase, where you’ll be asked to answer a few questions about your experiences on PlayStation. Players will also be required to sign in with their PlayStation account ID and share additional information to participate.

After reviewing applications, PlayStation will select a limited number of finalists to participate in video interviews to learn about them and their connection to PlayStation. From there, one PlayStation fan will be selected to be featured in Gran Turismo 7 as part of The Playerbase, where they will have a special, limited-time appearance as an in-game character portrait, similar to how characters are presented throughout the game.

The selected fan will also help design a custom Fantasy Logo and a one-of-a-kind vehicle livery which will be added permanently to the Showcase menu. They will be invited to a visual arts studio in Los Angeles for a scanning day and to collaborate with a designer to create their Fantasy Logo and vehicle livery.

Over time, PlayStation looks forward to expanding The Playerbase as additional PlayStation Studios participate, having fans featured in ways that fit each game’s own style and world. Stay tuned for more updates.

The Playerbase is PlayStation’s way of saying thank you to the players who make PlayStation what it is today. The team can’t wait to meet the fans who will step into the world of PlayStation in a whole new way.
