The popular 2D fighter is currently available to pre-order with a 17 per cent discount. A closed beta will also commence on August 20 and end August 29, with applications open from now until August 18. Winners will be drawn randomly and notified on August 19.
Three characters available only as DLC for the console editions - Lori with the Power of Flames, NESTS Style Kyo and Mr. Karate - will feature in the Steam edition.
Meanwhile, the Steam edition will boast "vastly improved netcode", which will tailor the online experience according to the user's PC.
The official listing follows the appearance of a trailer last week, which featured gameplay footage as well as a logo containing the text 'The King of Fighters XIII Steam Edition'.
The game has been in the works for a while: references to King of Fighters XIII appeared in the Steam database back in March.
