Resident Evil 4 Remake – Rank Requirements Explained

Tapping into the long-running tradition of the series, Resident Evil 4 Remake offers players a rank at the end of each playthrough, a graded score for players to get a sense of how well their adventure through the crazed Spanish countryside went. Resident Evil 4 doesn’t do a particularly clear job of highlighting the requirements tied to these ranks, and at times getting a B or S+ can feel a tad random.

In this guide, we’ll outline the exact rank requirements in Resident Evil 4 Remake.

Resident Evil 4 Remake Rank Requirements

A mix of difficulty level and how long it takes you to beat the game determines your rank in Resident Evil 4 Remake. There’s a correlation between playtime and rank, with faster playthroughs awarded a higher score. Whether you are playing on a fresh save or New Game+ also affects rank. Thrown into the mix for Professional difficulty is a cap on the number of saves you can use to achieve S+.

The game awards one of four ranks: S+, S, A, and B. Here’s a breakdown of Resident Evil 4 Remake rank requirements for each difficulty level:
