We discuss the universal critical behavior in (2+1)-flavor QCD by analyzinglattice data from improved staggered fermions generated by the HotQCDCollaboration. We present recent results from two different latticediscretizations and various lattice spacings ($N_\tau=6,8,12$) at fixedphysical strange quark mass ($m_s$) but varying light quark mass ($m_l$). Wefind that the chiral order-parameter, i.e. the chiral condensate, shows theexpected universal scaling that is associated with the critical point in thechiral limit already for light quark masses $m_l/m_s \lsim 0.05$. From ananalysis of the disconnected chiral susceptibility we estimate a preliminaryvalue of the QCD transition temperature.
