Sony is starting a weird service that scans people to put them in PlayStation games
engadget.com • • general
Key Points:
- Sony has launched The Playerbase, a program that scans people's likenesses to insert them into PlayStation games, offering a unique way for fans to appear as characters.
- The initiative's first contest allows one fan to be featured in Gran Turismo 7 with their face as a character portrait and the opportunity to design a logo and car exterior.
- The winner will also receive a trip to Los Angeles for a full-body scan, though it is unclear how this scan will be used in the racing game.
- Participation requires completing an application, video interviews, and other steps, with the contest open to players across the Americas, Europe, Asia, South Africa, and Australia.
