FilthBreed
This dilapidated soda machine is from FilthBreed, an indie horror game and the name of my late-1990s nu metal band. Thanks for the screenshot, RobBoberty!
Tony Hawk’s Project 8
Sport Is What You Make It® thanks to this Powerade machine from Tony Hawk’s Project 8. The screenshot above is from the PlayStation 2 release. Here’s the same vending machine in the PlayStation Portable version.
I found out about this vending machine when I was flipping through an old issue of Official Xbox Magazine and the image below caught my eye.
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory originally featured product placement in the form of Diet Sprite vending machines. Later versions of the game (presumably released after contracts expired) replaced these Diet Sprite machines with the generic models already archived here at The Video Game Soda Machine Project.
Kingdom Hearts III

Failed State
Welcome to post-apocalyptic Ukraine and the not-so-distant future of 1985. Sure, the place is crawling with flesh-eating zombies, but at least some of the soda machines are still intact.
Stranger Cases: A Mystery Escape
Most games aren’t willing to tackle pressing concerns like the humanization of the workforce, but Stranger Cases doesn’t shy away from social commentary. In fact, the game puts a human — well, robot — face on labor issues with this out-of-work bot and his vending machine wife.
The Division 2
Lix Cola is back in Tom Clancy’s The Division 2, and Grine Vener was kind enough to capture this screenshot. Meanwhile, GunpowerdnBoom stumbled across this busted soda machine…
Someone at Ubisoft should repair that before the game goes live.
Bird of Passage
You’re a peculiar passenger touring Tokyo from the backseat of a taxi in Bird of Passage. Be sure to ask the driver to stop so you can hop our and inspect the local soda machines. Thanks for the screenshot, Cornelius!
Nancy Drew: Secrets Can Kill
These vending machines really put the “can” in Nancy Drew: Secrets Can Kill. This screenshot is from the original 1998 release. The remastered soda machines from the 2010 remake are already in the archive. Thanks for the screenshot, tjladuke5!
