Pre-ordering the Steam PC copy will grant you beta access, and if you’re a fan of the series on PC, you can get some relatively decent pre-order deals for Street Fighter V.

In a blog post about this beta, Capcom confirmed Ryu, Birdie, Cammy, Necalli, Nash, and Laura will be available at the start, with Dhalsim and Zangief coming later in the beta.
Starting at 12:01AM PT tonight, the third ‘Street Fighter V’ beta will become available to play on both PS4 and PC.
“The only thing Japanese players will need to play Street Fighter V during the next beta phase is an active PlayStation Plus subscription”, the website stated.
Alex, Guile, Ibuki, Balrog (Boxer), Juri, and Urien will all join the Street Fighter V roster sometime within the first year of the game’s release. This is an online PS4 vs PS4, PC vs PC, and PS4 vs PC, 2 player beta, but there will be a way to play against the computer while waiting for a human match. However if you have recently bought a Steam Machine, you will be pleased to learn that Capcom has announced that the game will also be compatible with SteamOS, meaning that Steam Machine owners should be able to play the game.
If you’re already eligible for the third beta testing phase, you may already have received complimentary beta invite codes you can share with friends to let them in on some season’s beatings.
Meanwhile, a recent report from Game Spot revealed how the previous “Street Fighter 5” betas failed Capcom, as they continue to fix bugs.
