Or only if you're playing a multiplayer game?

Leave that up to the game devs. Expose a platform API call with all relevant information about the accessories currently plugged into the console.

That way a game can check that API whenever cheating matters for that particular game - which may mean different things: playing with strangers, playing certain 'competitive' modes, getting achievements or high scores, etc.

That would be the best outcome, I agree.
