This code should work for any platform.

.h

	/** returns a list of all save games in /Saved/SaveGames folder, without the .sav extension (filename only) */
	UFUNCTION(BlueprintPure, Category = Game)
	static TArray<FString> GetAllSaveGameSlotNames();

.cpp

#include "Paths.h"
#include "PlatformFile.h"
#include "PlatformFilemanager.h"

TArray<FString> USnakesBlueprintFunctionLibrary::GetAllSaveGameSlotNames()
{
	//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
	class FFindSavesVisitor : public IPlatformFile::FDirectoryVisitor
	{
	public:
		FFindSavesVisitor() {}

		virtual bool Visit(const TCHAR* FilenameOrDirectory, bool bIsDirectory)
		{
			if (!bIsDirectory)
			{
				FString FullFilePath(FilenameOrDirectory);
				if (FPaths::GetExtension(FullFilePath) == TEXT("sav"))
				{
					FString CleanFilename = FPaths::GetBaseFilename(FullFilePath);
					CleanFilename = CleanFilename.Replace(TEXT(".sav"), TEXT(""));
					SavesFound.Add(CleanFilename);
				}
			}
			return true;
		}
		TArray<FString> SavesFound;
	};
	//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

	TArray<FString> Saves;
	const FString SavesFolder = FPaths::GameSavedDir() + TEXT("SaveGames");

	if (!SavesFolder.IsEmpty())
	{
		FFindSavesVisitor Visitor;
		FPlatformFileManager::Get().GetPlatformFile().IterateDirectory(*SavesFolder, Visitor);
		Saves = Visitor.SavesFound;
	}

	return Saves;
}

If you don’t know what to do with this, look up in the wiki: “C++ blueprint function library tutorial”.
