Can a Godox XPro-C trigger a Canon 600EX-RT off-camera?

I’m using a Canon 6D Mark II with a Godox V860II-C, a Canon 600EX-RT, and a Godox XPro-C transmitter. The V860II-C fires normally when I set matching channel/group settings, but I can’t get the Canon 600EX-RT to trigger from the Godox transmitter. I also wondered whether a Godox X2T-C was needed to make this work. Can the XPro-C or X2T-C trigger the 600EX-RT directly, or do I need additional hardware or a different wireless system?

Your XPro-C and X2T-C Godox triggers speak a different "language" than the radio receiver in the Canon 600EX-RT flash. You can't control the 600EX-RT directly via radio with a Godox trigger.
To control the 600EX-RT with your Godox transmitters you need a compatible Godox receiver attached to the hot foot of the Canon flash. The only such receiver available is the X1R-C.
The X2T-C has a bluetooth receiver, but that is only for using select smartphones to control the X2T-C via the Godox app. It's not capable of acting as a receiver for other Godox triggers.
Be sure the channel numbers on the XPro-C and the V860II-C (or any X1R-C receiver you are using attached to another flash) match. All wireless ID numbers should also match.¹
¹ You may need to turn wireless ID to "off" on all devices to get things to work with the V860II-C, which does not appear to support wireless ID.

No—Godox X-system transmitters like the XPro-C and X2T-C cannot directly control the Canon 600EX-RT by radio. They use different wireless systems, so the Canon flash won’t understand the Godox trigger on its own.
To use the 600EX-RT with your Godox setup, attach a Godox X1R-C receiver to the foot of the Canon flash. Then set the receiver to the same channel as the XPro-C, and make sure any wireless ID settings also match (or turn wireless ID off on all devices if needed).
The X2T-C is not a receiver for the flash—it’s another transmitter. Its Bluetooth feature is only for app control, not for receiving a flash trigger.
If you want to use the 600EX-RT without an added receiver, you’d need to switch to Canon RT-compatible transmitters instead of Godox X-system triggering.
