Meta launches new VR games subscription service Meta Quest+
If you're a VR fan and desperate for yet another subscription service to sign up to, you're in luck! Meta has announced - and launched - Meta Quest+, a new subscription package promising access to"the best titles" on its virtual reality platforms.
Meta Quest+ isn't quite the Game Pass or PlayStation Plus Extra-style smorgasbord you might be envisaging, however; instead, it'll give subscribers access to two"handpicked VR titles" each month from a selection of Quest's"biggest hits, hidden gems, and back-catalog classics". Meta Quest+ is available to Quest 2 and Quest Pro users, and costs £7.99/$7.99 USD a month or £59.99/$59.99 annually - a savings of over 37%, Meta notes. Curious sorts can get their first month's subscription for £1/$1 as long as they sign up before 31st July.Meta's first two subscription offerings are Cloudhead Games' rhythm-FPS Pistol Whip and Arvore Immersive Experiences' arcade adventure Pixel Ripped 1995.
Once redeemed, these - and all future Meta Quest+ titles - can be played for as long as a subscription persists , and access will resume should a user decide to continue a lapsed subscription at a later date.Eurogamer welcomes videogamers of all types, so sign in and join our community!

Meta-analysis of the effects of proton pump inhibitors on the human gut microbiota - BMC MicrobiologyMounting evidence has linked changes in human gut microbiota to proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use. Accordingly, multiple studies have analyzed the gut microbiomes of PPI users, but PPI–microbe interactions are still understudied. Here, we performed a meta-analysis of four studies with available 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing data to uncover the potential changes in human gut microbes among PPI users. Despite some differences, we found common features of the PPI-specific microbiota, including a decrease in the Shannon diversity index and the depletion of bacteria from the Ruminococcaceae and Lachnospiraceae families, which are crucial short-chain fatty acid-producers. Through training based on multiple studies, using a random forest classification model, we further verified the representativeness of the six screened gut microbial genera and 20 functional genes as PPI-related biomarkers, with AUC values of 0.748 and 0.879, respectively. Functional analysis of the PPI-associated 16S rRNA microbiome revealed enriched carbohydrate- and energy-associated genes, mostly encoding fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase and pyruvate dehydrogenase, among others. In this study, we have demonstrated alterations in bacterial abundance and functional metabolic potential related to PPI use, as a basis for future studies on PPI-induced adverse effects.
