Does enabling cross-progression reset MMR on the new platform?

I made some new dbd friends in discord and they both insist that my mmr didn't cross over from Nintendo Switch to Playstation and that everyone who uses cross-progression has their mmr reset on the new platform.

I have never heard this before, does anyone know if this is true?

I have 5,000 hours on Nintendo Switch and 500 on Playstation but since I only use the Playstation now, they say my MMR is based solely on the 500 Playstation hours.

    I can only go by my own personal impressions (since I don't really know for sure), but as someone who plays on both PC and Switch, I feel like I get the exact same level of opponent on both platforms. The only real "evidence" I can point at to support this is the fact that I get the exact same BP incentives on both platforms.

    So I think your friends are wrong and MMR is shared across all platforms.

    That said, I think there's an argument to say it should be different. I can still play Survivor on Switch because I have an admittedly worse than average Survivor escape rate and even if I can't loop as well, I can still change my build and strategy to be more stealthy and do just as well. But my Killer games on Switch are a struggle. I honestly haven't won a single Killer game on Switch since enabling cross progression and I sometimes wish I hadn't.

    I've never heard a dev mention anything about that, but there is lot about MMR they haven't talked about.

    But, why would they put a separate MMR for every category? Why would you design it so that every player's account would need 5 (I think) different MMRs? It would add so much more complexity to the system instead of just having a single MMR.
