Ultra Street Fighter 4 developer Capcom is hoping to launch the PC build of the expanded brawler around the same time as its PS3 and Xbox 360 brethren. The company is also ditching Games For Windows Live functionality for Steam in the release.

As spotted by GAF, Capcom's Neidel "Haunts" Crisan confirmed the dropping of GFWL:

@Smedwicks @toddhunter @ultradavid @FishStix @tehrebound It's coming to Steam, yes, we'll be transitioning from GFWL to Steam.

He then suggested Capcom is targeting a simultaneous launch:

@FishStix @tehrebound Yes the intention is to have them all launch at around the same time. Should have more deets on PC ver soon.

So, a Steam release for Ultra Street Fighter 4 it is then. I recently interviewed Capcom on the expanded edition where we discuss why the new characters aren't just mere rips from Street Fighter x Tekken. Check it out here.
