Oculus parent company Facebook posted an online job listing this week that hints at a new headset and seemed to confirm its social VR plans for PlayStation VR. The job posting said the company is seeking an Innovation Tech Specialist to join its Social VR team in Menlo Park, Calif.

According to the listing, the candidate will "build and extend workstations with productivity in mind, especially as we add PlayStation VR, Windows Headsets, Monterey & Mobile."

This isn't the first time that the Monterey codename has surfaced for Facebook. Last year, just before Facebook's F8 developer conference, Variety reported that this was the codename for the updated prototype of Oculus' standalone headset, Santa Cruz. However, Santa Cruz was shown at Oculus Connect 2017 under its original codename. This would suggest that either Monterey is the new codename for the upcoming Oculus Go standalone headset or it represents a completely new headset altogether.

Facebook VR program coming soon to PSVR

The listing also mentions PlayStation VR and Windows headsets, which suggests a bigger reach for Facebook's VR presence. It could be that Facebook social VR programs like Spaces, which launched in beta last year and allows Facebook friends to meet up in VR, could be arriving soon on these platforms.

It doesn't come as much of a surprise to see PSVR in Facebook's overall social VR plan, especially because the PlayStation 4 can integrate with Facebook for user profiles. This could play in Facebook's favor since PlayStation users would likely experience a relatively seamless integration of Facebook VR programs.

PSVR sales have exceeded two million and continue to grow, potentially presenting Facebook with an expanding market for Spaces as well as any upcoming social VR programs it could have in store.

There are some deals running for PlayStation VR from now until March 3. In addition to social VR programs Facebook may have in mind, fans can also look forward to the release of over 130 games for the platform by the end of 2018, including Stranger Things: The VR Experience.

The job listing, which could be found on LinkedIn as well as Facebook's careers page, detailed the ideal candidate as one who could work on a range of social projects, share media and play games. At the time of this writing, the posting has since been taken down from both sites.
