Overwatch Might Be Headed to Consoles
Blizzard's upcoming PC shooter Overwatch could be making the leap to consoles, as evidence pulled from the gaming community hints at a potential port for Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
One major clue is the game's user interface, which Eurogamer notes "seems particularly console friendly." Plus, Overwatch's relatively small and manageable suite of character abilities would translate well to a traditional controller.
Those who've played Overwatch cite gamepad support for the PC version as another major indicator, but the biggest tip is a piece of source code found on Blizzard's European website. The string of text, which has since been removed, said: "Overwatch is Blizzard's team-shooter for PC and consoles."
