Definition from 萌娘百科:
皮肤系统,指游戏中变更外表造型的系统。该系统中供玩家选择的角色外表造型称作皮肤。

Example sentence(s):
  • 在今天,游戏皮肤不仅成了一种独特的游戏文化,而且还是不少游戏公司的盈利手段。比方说,在2016年Roit光是卖皮肤就挣了18亿美元。 - 知乎  
  • 游戏皮肤这个概念源于1986年版的初代《塞尔达传说》。当时这款游戏一大亮点是玩家可以自定义角色姓名,虽然现在看起来稀松平常,但对30年前来说,这一创举使这款游戏有了极大的代入感。 后来技术逐渐进步,游戏开发商们脑东大开,允许玩家自定义包括服饰、发型甚至装饰等各方面细节,也最终发展为今天皮肤系统。 - Sohu
