I believe an ELI5 answer would be that Devs use tools to create graphical assets, like blender or Maya. These tools are updated regularly just like any other application, and as such when the game is released, the assets would look like they’re cutting edge because the tool they used was updated.

There is also the game platform to consider as well, but same thing, game platforms are updated too.
