I am building my first pc and wanted to get a B550 board with a ryzen5600x but keep seeing thag i may have to update my BIOS. I Don't have an older cpu to update the bios so i was wondering if there is a workaround for this.

No, a B550 will support the chip from the box. 

To overcome some bugs with Ryzen 5000 chips, it is recommended to update the bios.

Ok thank you. So the update is just for bugs and things but it will boot out if box. That clears things up.
