You can pre-purchase it on Steam now. Although not in the UK it seems...

Steam version specific features:

The Steam version of Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty supports keyboard and mouse – and Xbox 360 controllers throughout the menus and in-game, and there’s also fully configurable keyboard binding.

The game supports frame rates of up to 60 frames per second and resolution up to 4K (both spec dependent) with a number of graphics sliders for settings like texture detail, anti-aliasing and so on.

There’s also Steam cloud synchronisation for game saves, Steam leaderboards and a set of Steam trading cards.

Other tweaks and improvements:

Listening to feedback from last year’s PlayStation 4 version, the Steam version of Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty features the same ‘old school’ controls that were introduced a few months after release, which more closely resemble the controls found in the original Abe’s Oddysee (with respect to walk/run and lateral jumping).

We’ve also removed the cross-game promotional banners, added the ability to skip all cut-scenes without already having watched them and addressed a number of bugs (including indestructible mines in one part of the game and a somewhat unreliable elevator towards the end) and, of course, included all the incremental benefits brought by the updates to the PS4 version like adjusted level layouts and audio design fixes.
