NBA 2K Playgrounds 2
The deck of a riverboat floating down the Mississippi River doesn’t seem like the ideal spot for a pop machine or a basketball court. Then again, NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 is a pretty dumb game.
Party Hard 2
Everyone’s favorite ultra-violent party-crashing sim Party Hard is back with a sequel that, inexplicably, isn’t named Party Harder. At least the developers remembered to throw in a drink machine!
Fast Beat Loop Racer GT
Whenever I’m in an arcade, I wrestle with the possibility that I might see a soda machine in one of the games and have no way of taking a screenshot. Luckily, Fast Beat Loop Racer GT recently made the leap from arcades to Steam — soda machines and all.
Thanks for the screenshots, Cornelius.
Northbury Grove
Bump Cola and Swimmers Choice — a pair of disturbing soda machines from a disturbing survival horror game called Northbury Grove. Here’s another look with the game’s VHS mode disabled.
Thanks for the heads-up on these, Cornelius!

Low energy has derailed more esports careers than carpal tunnel syndrome and grossly offensive outbursts during heated gaming moments combined. It’s a good thing Esports Life: Ep. 1 – Dreams of Glory offers invigorating drink options like Rock Energy and Bul Lite!
LEGO DC Super-Villains
If you had to guess, what kinds of soda do you think Clayface and Black Adam prefer? I feel like Clayface is way into root beer (obviously), whereas Black Adam just goes with whatever limited edition Mountain Dew variant is on the shelves at the moment.
Oh, and don’t worry if you’re out of spare change. Just smash these soda machines and steal whatever you want! Being bad feels pretty good.
Super-heroic thanks to Cornelius for tracking these down on launch day!
SCUM
Sir, could you finish crafting your pointy stick/shoehorn killing device elsewhere? I’d like to purchase a drink.
This screenshot is from SCUM, a hardcore survival sim that incorporates pooping as a game mechanic. Needless to say, this is a major leap forward for the genre. [Source]
Planet Coaster
Didn’t spring for the express pass in Planet Coaster? Cool off with a psychedelic Pipshot while you wait in line. Just for good measure, here are the game’s milkshake and coffee machines.
Thanks for the screenshots, itsmethemcb!

Kickflip your thirst with an ice-cold Fizzy Boy in the Game Boy Advance port of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2! Or, if you prefer a lower resolution beverage, here are the same soda machines in the Game Boy Color release…
You can compare these soda machines with their counterparts from the PC version of THPS2 in the archive.
