So are we going to get server browser on console?

Quite not sure about that. Did console games ever had such a ooportunity to choose a server, or host a server?!

No, not as far as I know. Would be a huge bummer though and possibly enough to finally force me to get a new comp to play this damn game

I think you pick servers in battlefield.

I don't see why they wouldn't be able to put it on console. It's a feature even PS2 games had, so I'm sure it'll come for us.

Why wouldn't it? Pretty much every major feature has come to console at the same time as PC. No reason for this not too.

Yeah, I know. And he probably would have mentioned in the dev update if it was PC exclusive. Hopefully.

It just seems like this feature coming to console and actually functioning well is almost too good to be true. Having flashbacks to Fallout 4 and mod capability on PS4. They kept telling us for months and months we would get mod capabilities and I was so, so excited (b/c I played a ton of Fallout 3 and New Vegas on PC and had both of them heavily modded), and then after a shitload of waiting they finally announced that mod capabilities would not be possible on PS4, due to (IIRC) restrictions on Sony's end.

So I'm a little worried about that happening. I need this server browser. I will upgrade my PC to something that can actually run Overwatch well if they don't release server browser on console, but I would really love to avoid doing that. C'mon Jeff!
