Having gorged itself to satiation on videos of your ears, PlayStation maker and digital anatomy house Sony has announced it now wants your entire body. Or, well, the entire body of the first winner of its just-announced Playerbase scheme, which will let some lucky son of a gun have their “likeness scanned and appear within a PlayStation game,” starting with Gran Turismo 7.
It’s actually quite an involved process. This isn’t just “write your name on a raffle ticket and hope you get picked,” Sony wants to subject you to something that sounds, I have to say, like a two-part job interview before putting you in the seat of a virtual racing car.

It’ll all happen over the course of a day in a studio in Los Angeles, where the winner will also have their soul irreversibly ensnared in the PlayStation virtual chrysalis and placed into GT7.
This is not a one-off competition but the start of a whole thing. Going forward, Sony says it will spin up the Playerbase machine for future releases, with fans being digitally represented in other series in ways that “fit each game’s own style and world.” Perhaps one day, you will be in Knack 3.
