In April, we broadly announced our vision, strategy, timeline and investment in three major areas: familiar and intuitive user experiences, cloud-inspired infrastructure with hybrid at the core and robust security and compliance for SharePoint Server 2016.

Hi Michéle
According to the Technet article (New and Improved features posted above here), Project Server Preview 2016 is included but they will be licensing it separately in future releases.

Thank you Chad,
I read the installation docs for Project Server now and saw the following:
"Project Server 2016 Preview runs as a service application under SharePoint Server 2016 Preview."
