Cultural Tip
In French gaming circles, English titles are never translated; you’ll hear them pronounced with a French accent. The expression 'en ce moment' is a bit more formal than the colloquial 'en ce moment' or 'actuellement', so feel free to swap them depending on the register you want. Also, French speakers often add 'en train de' for extra emphasis on an ongoing action.
