The rank you get for completing the Resident Evil 4 remake doesn’t just count for bragging rights — it grants unlocks like accessories and costumes. Each difficulty level has its own ranking requirements, ranging from B to S+.
This guide goes over each difficulty’s A through S+ rank requirements, which mostly entail playtime. Only S+ has a separate requirement, and on Professional difficulty, it has a third to keep things spicy.
To receive an S+ on any difficulty, you must be playing on a brand new save, meaning New Game+ runs are exempt from S+ rankings. You can’t use weapons or Pesetas brought over from previous playthroughs for this prestigious ranking, so it will take practice to get it down.

Getting an S+ rank on Professional is no joke. If you end up saving 16 times, you’re no longer eligible for S+ and instead will be defaulted to S, even if you meet the time condition. Get that practice in, and you just might be able to get it in eventually.
