Probably Stolen
This cyberpunk shopkeeping simulator might be titled Probably Stolen, but the vending machines in this screenshot have definitely stolen my heart.

Splatoon 3
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the drink machines in the Splatoon series. You don’t think those cans have ink in them, do you?
There’s also a drink machine near Splatoon 3’s customizable lockers.
Here’s a better look at that same soda machine model in the lobby.
Finally, while it’s not exactly a vending machine, Splatoon 3’s Tacticooler is a deployable item that dispenses canned sodas to buff teammates.
Shout-out to Surey D on Bluesky for grabbing those screenshots for me!
Terrible Lizards
My car just ran out of gas on Route 66 in Terrible Lizards, a 2026 first-person parkour horror game. I think I’ll grab a thirst-quenching Splonk from this machine and then head across the street to explore that creepy roadside dinosaur attraction. What could possibly go wrong?
DOOM: The Dark Ages
The Doom Slayer will have to rip and tear his way through the Revelations DLC for DOOM: The Dark Ages if he wants to buy a soda from one of these vending machines.
Thanks to SenorChangsJudgement and the r/DOOM community for helping me track this one down!
My Friendly Neighborhood
This vending machine appears in My Friendly Neighborhood, a 2023 FPS. And by FPS, I mean Felt Puppet Shooter. Something has gone terribly wrong with this beloved cast of children’s television puppets, and it’s up to the player to solve the mystery.
Notably, its design takes inspiration from the vending machine seen in the original Half-Life. Thanks for the screenshot, Legerdemancy!
Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School
These soda machines from Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School sell something called Escapist’s Edge, which I can only assume is a highly caffeinated study aid.
Unfortunately, one of the worst things about enrolling at Escape Academy is that the Headmaster has turned even the vending machines into elaborate puzzles.
Digimon Story: Time Stranger
It’s pretty uncool of this cop to stand in the way of my character getting a closer look at that lineup of color soda machines in Digimon Story: Time Stranger.
Silent Hill f
Things are a little grim in Silent Hill f, but if you’re searching for a good drink, look no further than these Good Drink machines. I hear they’re pretty good. For a drink.
Thanks for the screenshot, DrMarioDSW!
Go-Go Town!
Papa Wheelie is so impressed by this vending machine from Go-Go Town! that he’s been rendered speechless! [Source]
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth adds these ornate black-and-gold potion vending machines to Cloud Strife’s quest, and longtime visitors to the Video Game Soda Machine Project already know the truth: potions are just fantasy soda. [Source]
