Enabling Console After Build

So I was wondering how this is done. I have seen other people ask this question and people say it isn’t possible, but ARK is built using the unreal engine and has a console which opens the exact same as engine and has same commands. I have used statunit in ARK. So I was wondering how they did this. I don’t think they built their own console and then put unreal commands in it I just find that too hard to believe.
