As we all know, Roblox is garbage tier gameplay structured around psychological cues to get children to fill an endless pit with fake money bought with real money.

So I banned my kid from it. He used it a little bit socially with a few friends of his. What online or local multiplayer games should I help him to replace it with? (He's 10, so please don't recommend Diablo 4 or anything else that has quite that much gore)

He and his friends have an Xbox Series X|S at home.

Edit: keep your judgemental shit out of here. His whole social group (5 kids he knows from school) got banned on the same day. Me and the other parents are trying to be nice and replace it with better quality games so it isn't just a punishment.

Edit2: Thanks guys. I got him Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge

Roblox is full of different kinds of games, right? Why don't you find out the kinds of games he likes there and find recommendations based on that? It's a start at least. I would imagine most of the Roblox games are clones of better games anyway.

Factorio provided you want a group of kids that you never see again that can all program their own PLC devices

Maybe introduce him to Beyond All Reason? It's an RTS in the vein of Total Annihilation. Free and open source and very good looking.
