XNA for Visual Studio 2013

Is XNA available to be used from within Visual Studio 2013 (Ultimate) Preview? I have not heard, nor seen anything about XNA for VS 2013.

I have just installed VS 2013 and it's not there; I have it in VS 2012, so maybe there's a way to get it to work with 2013?

I'm running it successfully under Express 2013 Preview for Windows Desktop after following the same steps listed here for 2012: How to install XNA game studio on Visual Studio 2012?.

The only difference is that the version number in the paths and manifest is now 12 instead of 11.
