The programmers of that simulation could be cheating a bit. For example, they could approximate the movement of particles by using wave fields, and only if the particles are observed, would it actually simulate individual particles.
It would cause some weird effects that shouldn’t be there. For example a light spot in the middle of circular shadows. But most players don’t want 100% perfection. They want to be able to run the game on their device.
To simulate a single base particle would require millions of atom equivalents.
In our universe, to simulate 1 atom, requires millions of atoms.
So to simulate our universe perfectly, would require a universe more than a million times more complex, and even then everything in that universe would be used only to simulate our universe.
