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

Example sentence(s):
  • PvE,指玩家对战环境(player versus environment),即在游戏中玩家挑战游戏程序所控制的NPC怪物和BOSS。PvE有时候又被称作PVC(Player Vs Computer)。 与PvE相对的是PvP(玩家对战玩家,player versus player)。 - 百度  
  • PvE和PvP(玩家与玩家对战,比如我们常说的PK、战场、攻城战等)相对,指的是在游戏中玩家挑战游戏程序所控制的npc怪物和boss,PvE有时候又被称作PVC(Player Vs Computer),在网络游戏中,主要指挑战强大的BOSS等活动。 PvE设定,并不是完全取消玩家与玩家之间战争的PvP要素,而是对那些更加喜欢独立发展的玩家进行一些保护。 - 百度  

Explanation:
PvE在游戏中被泛指为玩家vs环境(player versus environment),PvP在游戏中被泛指为玩家vs玩家(player versus player),这两者是不同的
