How do video games with long development periods remain up to date with current tech?

This is an extreme example but take Star Citizen for example. This game has been in development for over 10 years. How do they take what they’ve already accomplished and keep it up to date? Especially things like graphics.

Sometimes they just don’t. Sometimes they work with chip companies to get information or even hardware for upcoming products to build/test against. Sometimes they work hard to modularize (separate) their code well to make it easier to upgrade the bits they want to upgrade. Sometimes they do some combo of all of the above.
