Ah yes, the time has come. With June in full swing, Steam recently went live with their annual summer sale, discounting a variety of titles across all genres. Thanks to the recent explosion of fighters on PC, there’s sure to be a lot for our readers to look forward to.

The first fighting games to see markdowns come from SNK Playmore’s King of Fighters franchise. All three installments currently available on Steam have been discounted rather extensively, both separately and as part of a triple-pack.

Fans can grab King of Fighters XIII, King of Fighters 2002 Unlimited Match, and King of Fighters ’98 Ultimate Match Final Edition for only $9.79, representing a 72% markdown from the bundle’s normal $34.99 price point. Alternatively, if you already own one or two of the aforementioned titles, King of Fighters XIII can be purchased for $4.99, while King of Fighters 2002 and King of Fighters ’98 are available for $2.99 apiece.

These sales will be live until 10 PM PDT tomorrow, so be sure to take advantage as soon as possible.
