Get ready to have your mind blown, folks! 😲 PlayStation has just announced The Playerbase, a revolutionary new way for fans to become a part of their favorite games. 💥 Because, you know, just playing the game wasn’t enough – now you can actually BE in the game! 🤯
We mean, who needs a social life when you can be scanned and inserted into a virtual world, right? 🤷♀️ The Playerbase offers PlayStation fans the chance to step into their biggest game worlds by having their likeness scanned and appearing within a PlayStation game. It’s starting with Gran Turismo 7, because who wouldn’t want to be a part of a game where you can drive really fast and crash into things? 🚗💥
This is all in the name of bringing fans closer to the games they’re playing, by putting them directly into the game. Because, you know, just playing the game and enjoying it from the comfort of your own home isn’t enough. 🙄 The Playerbase will be looking to expand and include fans in additional PlayStation Studios titles in the near future, because why not? 🤔
The Playerbase – How It Works 🤔
So, you’re probably wondering how this whole thing works. 🤷♂️ Well, let us break it down for you. The Playerbase is a community program that will be available in select markets in the Americas, Europe, Asia, South Africa, and Australia. 🌎 Players can get started by heading to the official sign-up site, and fans will also be required to sign in with their PlayStation account ID and share additional information to participate. 📝 Not everyone will be allowed to participate, though, because exclusivity is key. 🤫
To get selected for The Playerbase immersion, players will need to submit a story of a special memory that details why PlayStation is important to them. 📚 Because, you know, PlayStation wants to know all about your feels. ❤️ Upon selection, they’ll be invited to one of PlayStation’s visual art studios to get scanned, and PlayStation will cover the costs of travel and accommodation for those selected, because they’re nice like that. 🙏
After the scanning is finished, the player’s likeness will be included in-game and played by fans globally. 🌟 For Gran Turismo 7, if fans are selected to be part of The Playerbase, they’ll appear in-game for a limited time and will help design a custom Fantasy Logo and a one-of-a-kind vehicle livery that will be added permanently to the Showcase menu. 🎨
PlayStation is looking forward to expanding The Playerbase as additional PlayStation Studios participate, having fans featured in ways that fit each game’s own style and world as a way to say thank you to fans for “making PlayStation what it is today.” 🙏 More information regarding The Playerbase can be found on the official PlayStation blog, because who doesn’t love a good blog post? 📄
So, what are you waiting for? 🤔 Sign up for The Playerbase and become a part of your favorite games! 🎮 Just don’t forget to wear your best “I’m a PlayStation fan” face to the scanning session. 📸😂
