Abstract: We prove for non-elementary torsion-free hyperbolic groups $Gamma$ and all $rge2$ that the higher topological complexity ${sfTC}_r(Gamma)$ is equal to $rcdotmathrmcd(Gamma)$. In particular, hyperbolic groups satisfy the rationality conjecture on the $sfTC$-generating function, giving an affirmative answer to a question of Farber and Oprea. More generally, we consider certain toral relatively hyperbolic groups.
