player versus environment (PvE)

Player versus Environment (PvE) is a gaming mode where players engage with the game’s non-player characters (NPCs), such as monsters, enemies, or challenges, rather than competing against other players. In PvE, the focus is on exploring, completing missions, and overcoming obstacles created by the game’s storyline or design. It allows players to practice skills, cooperate with others, and experience the game's content without the pressure of competition. PvE is commonly found in role-playing, adventure, and multiplayer online games, emphasizing a narrative-driven or cooperative experience.
