Street Fighter IV has been listed on Steam and is now available for pre-purchase on the digitial distribution platform.

Steam has been kind enough to give SFIV a discount for those who purchase the game before it unlocks on July 7th. The sale knocks 10% off the standard price.

The PC version of the title offers new features the previously released console versions lacked including visual shaders that change the artistic look of the game.

Street Fighter IV PC hits next Tuesday.

From the game's description:

Street Fighter® IV brings the legendary fighting series back to its roots by taking the beloved fighting moves and techniques of the original Street Fighter® II, and infusing them with Capcom's latest advancements in next generation technology to create a truly extraordinary experience that will re-introduce the world to the time-honored art of virtual martial arts.
Everything that made the legendary Street Fighter II a hit in the arcades, living rooms and dormitories across the globe has been brought back in Street Fighter IV. Players can play their favorite classic characters, such as Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li and Guile, along with new characters, including Crimson Viper, Abel, El Fuerte, and Rufus. Characters and environments are rendered in stylized 3D, while the game is played in the classic Street Fighter 2D perspective with additional 3D camera flourishes. Six-button controls for the game return, with a host of new special moves and features integrated into the gameplay system. Street Fighter IV brings a brand new fighting game to fans the world over.
