That’s because the old game is still there, it’s internally running the same engine under the hood but with Unreal Engine 5 used for its graphics & rendering.
That is, in fact, how game engines work, if the game logic and renderer are decoupled. Usually they’re not too tightly coupled in the first place, but Unreal is specifically designed to be used in more than just games.
Yeah, I read up on it a bit after making this comment. Kinda crazy that they were able to get Unreal graphics to render as the so called “front-end”. Definitely can’t do that out of the box.

That doesn’t make any sense.
Edit: you can downvote me all you want. That’s not how game engines work.
