As we enter into a fresh new week, we're back with another daily fix of new games launching on Xbox today!

It's a bit of an odd one, as the main attractions are all primarily deluxe or special editions that provide an Early Access window. In any case, we've got a couple of boppers for you! First up is Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve, which looks as though it's a top-notch return to the skies for Bandai Namco. However, if you fancy keeping your toes much closer to the ground, deluxe editions of Way of the Hunter 2 and MXGP 26 are also featured today.

So, here's what launching on Xbox today (September 28):
