Moderator Note: For iOS instructions, see here.

On the PC, it's possible to set waypoints in XCOM 2 using the ctrl key.

Is it possible to do the same on the PS4 / Xbone versions and if so how do you do it?

In an official Xcom 2 news posting regarding an update to PS4 and Xbox One versions, the first item listed under "GAMEPLAY" is

Waypoint functionality added.

I played the Xbox One version last night and was able to add a waypoint by pressing and holding the A button; presumably the PS4 version's X button would support the same functionality.

At of the time of this writing, I couldn't find any updates to either the PS4 or Xbox One online game manuals and I don't remember seeing any in-game notifications indicating that this new feature was available.
