English term or phrase: Player vs Environment (PVE)

Definition from Cyber Definitions:
PVE is an abbreviation used in online gaming with the meaning "Player Versus Environment". PVE games require players to fight computer-generated monsters or enemies, as opposed to fighting other human players.

Example sentence(s):

Selecting the right type of combat for you depends on whether you prefer a more aggressive PvP setting, where everyone can potentially attack you, or a more relaxed PvE experience that lets you cooperate with others against the evil AI. Plarium
Back in the day, prior to the invention of the internet – yes, such times did exist – most gaming was PvE (or story-mode) as standard. Of course, the stories weren’t as fleshed out and complex as they are today, usually along the line of “plumber must save kidnapped princess” or “shoot the invading aliens”, but they were great fun nonetheless. PCZone
Much of PvE is something that players can learn and calculate. Many people love the fact that things might not ever change but because of that they can constantly fine tune their skills because of the lack of variance. Game Skinny

プレイヤー対環境（PvE）

Definition from Wikpedia:
プレイヤー対環境（プレイヤーたいかんきょう、Player versus environment）、またはPvE（一部のコミュニティではプレイヤー対モンスター (player versus monster) またはPvMとも呼ばれる）は、オンラインゲーム、特にMMORPG、CORPG、 MUDおよびその他のオンラインロールプレイングコンピュータゲームにおけるコンピュータが制御する敵との戦闘を指す際に使用される用語[1]。PvEはPVP（プレイヤー対プレイヤー）とは対照的である。

Example sentence(s):

PvEとは、プレイヤー対環境 (Player vs. Environment) を意味し、プレイヤーがゲーム世界の環境 (Crafting, レイド、レイドのようなInstanceの実行、ダンジョン、アドベンチャー、shiphand、ワールドイベント、その他世界を自由に徘徊するようなもの、クエスト) の中やその環境に対してプレイするプレイスタイルのことである。その用語の主な根拠は、通常のゲーム世界のプレイをPvP（Player vs. Player)のプレイから差別化することである。 - Fandom
ここで言う対戦ゲームは、プレイヤーが障害物をよけたり、AI制御の敵と対戦したり、プログラムされた敵を出し抜いたりするような従来のゲームとは異なります。AIと対戦する場合は、PvEまたはプレイヤー対環境と呼ばれます。 - Plarium Play
