  • Applicants sign in on the Playerbase site, answer questions about their PlayStation history, and may be shortlisted for video interviews.
  • One fan will be selected for Gran Turismo 7 with a limited-time in-game portrait and a custom Fantasy Logo and vehicle livery added to the Showcase permanently.
  • PlayStation says it will cover travel and lodging for the selected fan if they are outside Los Angeles, according to the program FAQ.
  • The initiative spans select markets across the Americas, Europe, Asia, South Africa and Australia, and Sony plans to expand to more studios with game-specific implementations.
