PlayStation has just launched a new initiative called The Playerbase. Through it, players will be afforded the opportunity to be scanned so that they can appear in a PlayStation Studios game. First up is Gran Turismo 7, and applications to be the lucky player who is added to the game are already open.
The Playerbase Is Giving You The Chance To Be Immortalized In A PlayStation Game
The first details about The Playerbase were revealed today via the PlayStation Blog. Described as a community program, the blog notes that it will provide its players with the opportunity to quite literally step inside some of its biggest games. No indications yet of what those other games might be, just that Gran Turismo 7 will be the first.

If you want a free Leon Kennedy avatar, you’ll need to go through a surprising amount of work.
The PlayStation-published racing sim is a logical place to start, as even though it’s already a few years old, since it isn’t a story based game with a linear narrative, as well as a game its fans continue to play four years later, adding a new face into the mix won’t require any additional explanation. PlayStation can just scan you and put you in the game however it sees fit.
The Application Process To Become The One Player Added To Gran Turismo 7
There is only room for one new face in Gran Turismo 7, though, and you’re going to have to work hard for it if you want that face to be yours. The first step is to submit an application. That can be done through The Playerbase website, which should be live by the time you read this.
During that application process, you will be asked some questions about your experiences with PlayStation. I’m not exactly sure what PlayStation will be looking for from the answers to those questions. You will also need a PlayStation account ID, something I imagine most people who want to appear in Gran Turismo 7 will already have.
A handful of successful applicants will then be selected to take part in video interviews. After that, PlayStation will narrow the field down to just one player. That player will be invited to a studio in LA to be scanned so that they can make “a special limited-time appearance as an in-game character portrait”. Although it seems your likeness won’t stay in the game forever, you will also have the opportunity to create a logo and a livery that will be permanently added to Gran Turismo 7.
I am now curious as to what other games PlayStation might have in mind for this program, and how they plan on seamlessly putting players into those games. I might be getting a little ambitious with it consiudering how limited the GT7 situation is, but if there’s a future where I can be a Lombax in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, a clicker in The Last of Us, or best of all, a guest bot in an Astro game, then I will jump through any hoops that PlayStation asks of me.
