It can also be used with で, for example:
ゲームの最中で (during the game)
Hey there @bambusmatte !
で would not work with 最中 since it is a particle used to highlight the ‘place’ that is required for an action to take. Since 最中 is not a place に would be more natural to use since に is a particle that can be used for both ‘place’ and ‘time’.
I hope this helps!
thank you
