It sounds like that was a joke from some years back.

Skyrim: Special Edition Announced For Samsung Smart Refrigerators And Alexa

If that headline has confused you then let’s be very clear, this is a joke by Bethesda...

Not gonna lie. That doesn't look like Tizen, either. It almost looks like they are running Windows Phone or Windows 8 on that Fridge lol.

Then again Windows 8 was considered bleeding edge when Skyrim came out. Samsung was still in their bubbly TouchWiz / Smart Hub era then. Things hadn't turned into industrial style rectangles.
