PAYDAY 3

The Update 3.10 onboarding change means a new player can begin heisting using an automatically created platform-linked headless account instead of manually creating Nebula first. The official note says you can link that account to a manually created Nebula account later; manual linking is needed for cross-platform progression, cross-platform friends and changing your in-game name. If you only want to start on one platform, there is no need to rush into account changes.
